Let your little explorer waddle into fun with this all-over Adelie Penguins t-shirt! The front shows a group of cheeky penguins marching toward the Ross Sea. Meanwhile, the back reveals their hilarious retreat from a sneaky leopard seal lurking on the Antarctic sea ice. Crafted on a white, snow marle, or pale blue t-shirt, to mimic the icy Antarctic landscape, and so that the black, white, and blue design pops with a 3D effect. The perfect tee for kids who love wildlife tales. Celebrate New Zealand’s nature-inspired artwear and grab yours today.
