LEGO® Friends are proud to partner with National Geographic Kids – and yours! Together we want to bring sea creatures and ocean conservation closer to children’s lives through play. With four new sets inspired by real-life sea rescue challenges and adventures, videos, fun facts, quizzes and more, your child will learn about endangered species and feel empowered to help save their ocean habitats.
Kids all over the world are speaking out about environmental issues – they deserve to have their voices heard. This summer, the LEGO Group is joining the 2019 Ocean Heroes Bootcamp, a program that empowers kids to create their own campaigns to advocate for solutions to ocean pollution. The three-day Bootcamp takes place in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada on 28-30 June, with 300 youths aged 11-18 from 20+ countries.

Sea turtles existed as far back as when dinosaurs still roamed the Earth – that’s 200 million years ago. Humans have only existed for about 200,000 years!
Unlike the (imaginary) unicorn horn, the male narwhal’s tusk does not grow from its forehead. It is actually a long spiral-shaped canine tooth with millions of nerve endings.
