Here’s a fantastic educational craft for children that highlights the distinct characteristics of turtles and the differences between turtles and tortoises. First, have the children research various types of turtles online and choose one they would like to depict using a paper plate to create their turtle. They should focus on matching the details, such as the shape and color of the shell. Afterward, the children can present their turtles to the class, sharing information about the specific type they chose. They will enjoy demonstrating their unique characteristics by opening and closing the turtle’s mouth!
This craft includes two pages of patterns used as templates to cut patterns from paper plates. The materials for this craft include, two 9-inch paper plates, two 6-inch paper plates, card stock (heavy paper), brass fasteners, googly eyes, paint, scissors, and a hole punch.
All the patterns, games, and lessons in this store come from Danielle’s Place and are available through a yearly membership on The Resource Room.
