Octonauts Shellington & the Swell Shark

Jenny from Titahi Bay

Shellington needs to rescue the swell shark who is trapped in the kelp net.
Sink the kelp net in water and it opens and releases the swell shark. This shark changes colour in warm water and when squeezed squirts water out of its mouth.
The helmet closure is a little loose.

Price: $12

Comes with the pieces shown.

On the base is printed the song 'Twelve days of Christmas', so if you get tired of putting in the pieces, you can always serenade those who are nearby.

While overall rates of participation were disappointing across the country, I’m grateful to say in Porirua we saw a robust campaign that never descended into the rancour and nastiness that affected contests elsewhere.

The Council had a busy year with a big works programme of water and roading maintenance and upgrades, as well as extensive tree planting, that will accelerate into 2023 and beyond. Continuing questions over the precise direction of the Government’s Three Waters plan, along with impending local body reforms, make this a difficult and uncertain time, but I have every confidence in the city’s readiness to adapt to this quickly evolving environment.
