This paper plate tutle is simple to make. Use it as a fingerpaintig project for your yongest kids. The colors used here were green and purple. You can change the color scheme, but keep it to 2 colors. If you mix too many, it looks muddy.Materials:
- paper plate
- scissors
- paints
- shallow dishes
- google eye
- glue
Directions:
- Cut the rim off a paper plate and cut the center in half.
- Use one half to cut a small simple head, tail, and legs.
- Put green and purple paint in dishes. Paint the half circle green with child's fingers and paint head, tail, and legs purple. Dip the end of a toilet paper roll in purple paint and stamp onto the turtle's shell. Allow everything to dry.
- Glue pieces onto the back of the turtle. Glue a google eye on the head.
