We’ve got a turtle craft to share with you today as we’re making a paper plate turtle (don’t paper plates just scream to be crafted into this lovely animal).
This parent and child turtle craft is pretty sweat isn’t it?
Easy Paper Plate Turtle Craft
What you need:
- paper plates
- green paper
- googly eyes
To make the large parent turtle, use a regular, full size paper plate. To make a smaller turtle, cut the center out of a regular size paper plate. Use the center, smaller circle for your child turtle.
Decorate the turtle shell with marker, no need to stick to one color only here.
Cut out a head, four legs and a tail with scissors and green construction paper. Glue them onto the underside of the shell.
Add googly eyes to the head.
