Wild Republic Zip Tube Eco - Shark

Ages 3+

Not every shark looks the same, and that’s where the discoveries begin. The Wild Republic Shark Nature Tube brings together 12 shark figurines, with distinctive shapes and markings ranging from the hammerhead’s broad head to the whale shark’s spotted body.

Children can send their sharks cruising through imaginary reefs, exploring underwater caves or heading out into the open ocean. Along the way, they can compare fins, tails and patterns, learn names and turn their discoveries into stories of their own.

Made from recycled plastic, the figures come in a reusable zip up tube with a carry strap. Wild Republic’s attention to animal detail makes the collection interesting to explore, while the packaging doubles as storage and a travel case, helping reduce single use packaging waste.
