A Poky Little Paper Plate Turtle

April 25, 2015momstownRecessNo comments
For every time we tell our kids to hurry, here’s an easy craft to remind us that there just might be someone EVEN slower than them out there. Possibly.

A lot of us moms probably have a slow-poke turtle toddler (or older kid) in our house. Here's a like-minded pal to hang on the fridge.

 preschool turtle craft

Supplies:

–          green tissue paper

–          paper plate

–          green construction paper

–          scissors & glue

–          googly eyes (optional) or hole punch for eyes

 

Invert the plate and glue on scraps of tissue paper. Cut out a head, legs and a tail to glue under the plate (aka: the turtle shell).

You have a green turtle!! Your toddler will love slopping on the glue and some tissue paper squares and be so proud! Bigger kids can make a fancier turtle with more tissue paper or layer with construction paper for a tougher "shell".
