Slow-Poke Turtles
Cute and cunning turtles star in many children’s stories. Here’s a quick and easy way to make a reptile that will crawl right into your heart.
1. Using Crayola® Washable Markers, draw a turtle-shell pattern on the bottom of a paper bowl. Color the hexagons with a green marker. Give the shell a two-tone effect by coloring some hexagons yellow with green on top. Outline your pattern with a darker, contrasting shade to enhance your pattern.
2. On a small paper plate, use your markers to draw and color a turtle head, four feet, and a tail. Tear out the pieces.
3. Apply Crayola School Glue around the rim of another small paper plate. Place the turtle’s head, feet, and tail in the correct positions along the rim. Press the shell on top. Air-dry the glue.
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
