Today it was way too hot to play outside, so it was the perfect day for crafting! This turtle is ridiculously easy for little ones to make. It is perfect for kids four and under!
Materials Needed
- Paper Plate
- Green Construction Paper
- Glue
- Scissors
- Googly Eyes
The prep work on this one is super easy! Just cut out a head, four legs, and a little tail. After that, cut the rest of the paper into little squares.
Turn the plate over so the “bump” is facing your child and let them glue on the green squares. We used liquid glue, but if your child enjoys glue and you want to extend the time this takes by about 15 minutes, you can use stick glue and have your child the glue on each piece before putting it on the plate.
After that dries for a little bit, flip it over and let your little one glue on the head, legs, and tail.
To finish this little turtle, just flip it back over and help your little one put on the googly eyes! If you do not have googly eyes, then you can just have your little one draw on a face if they’d like.
