From Nature to Hand

Inspired by Nature

Each year, billions of coconuts are harvested for their oil, water, and flesh. Unfortunately, 99% of the shells are thrown away and burned.

Crafted by Hand

Inside every Turtleball® set are 12 custom coconuts—globally sourced, hand-etched, and designed with purpose. 

Designed for You

Every coconut shell and game is truly one-of-a-kind. No one else in the world will have a Turtleball set like yours.

Toys & Games
Each year, billions of coconuts are harvested for their oil, water, and flesh, but a staggering 99% of the shells are discarded or incinerated. We are turning these wasted shells into an exciting beach game crafted from real coconuts. With millions of tons of plastic polluting landfills and oceans every year, it’s essential for society to minimize or replace plastic products with plant-based alternatives, especially in the toy and game industry.

Coconuts
Burning coconut shells wastes valuable natural resources and significantly increases CO2 and methane emissions. Although coconut husk, the fibrous outer layer of the shell, serves as an appealing biomass fuel and a reliable source of charcoal, the smoke produced poses serious environmental and health risks to both humans and animals.​

Sea Turtles
Sea turtles have been on the earth for over 100 million years. Nearly all species of sea turtles are classified as endangered due to human actions and lifestyles. As sea turtle populations decline, so does their ability to fulfill vital functions in the marine ecosystem. Plastic pollution poses a serious threat to sea turtles and other marine wildlife. In addition, 80% of plastic debris comes from land-based activities. We are committed to inspire, serve, and educate others to keep our beaches clean and leave nothing but footprints!
