Wild Republic Nature Tube - Projector Ocean

Ages 3+

Follow a turtle through the reef, send a dolphin leaping over imaginary waves or discover a whale in the deep. The Wild Republic Aquatic Nature Tube Projector gives children a collection of ocean animals to explore, from sharks and whales to a penguin and sea lion.

Little ocean explorers can build underwater caves, rocky shores and open seas, deciding where each creature belongs and what happens next. Dim the lights and use the built in projector to bring images onto the wall, adding another layer of discovery to their ocean adventures.

Pair the figurines with a Tara Treasures playmat, available separately in two sizes, to create a backdrop for small world play. Wild Republic’s thoughtful design combines animal figures and projection in a reusable case, ready to pack away until the next expedition.
