Children love turtles. This turtle paper plate craft is a fun, easy preschool craft project. To make this craft, you will need:
Two paper plates
Brown construction paper
Green craft paint
Google eyes
Scissors
Glue
Dried beans (optional)
Felt tip pen
Your child will need two paper plates to make one turtle. Have your child use the green paint to paint the bottom side of both paper plates. Allow to dry.
Next cut out the arms, legs, etc. Using the scissors and brown construction paper, cut out four small rectangles for legs, a small triangle for the tail, and a circle for the head. You can outline them first with a pen if you wish, but it isn’t necessary. I just cut mine out freehand.
Glue the edges of the arms, legs, tail, and head to the top edge of one of the paper plates.
If you wish you can put some dried beans onto the plate so that when you glue the plates together the turtle will rattle when your child shakes it.
