Summer Pond- Turtle- Part III


Here is the third part of Colton's Summer Pond. Colton made a turtle. What I like most about this project is , that it can be done on so many ways, and it still comes out great.
We went the simple route and used Markers, small paper plate, construction paper, scissors, glue and wiggly eyes.
For the shell, you could also paint it, or use small pieces of brown and green paper glue on to the plate.

Colton put a beak like thing on the mouth to make it a snapping turtle.

Cut a hole in the center of the foil and push the edges down in the cup. Spoon in some baking soda. Pour in the vinegar. Watch it erupt.

Here is another repost, we are doing bugs at preschool, so this fits right into what we are doing. I found this cute craft on the Better Homes and Garden website. My kids saw it and could not wait to make it (because it is a bug). I made some modifications to it to make it a little easier for younger kids. Do not be scared of the paint because you do not have to use it. I know paint can be messy. You will need toilet paper roll, scissors, glue, pom-poms, paint or markers or green construction paper for the body (to make the toilet paper roll green), wiggly eyes, chenille stems, green foam sheet or construction paper and a pencil. Have the kids paint the toilet paper roll green. OR you can have them color it with a marker OR just wrap it in green construction paper and glue it. While the paint is drying, I get all the pieces set up to glue on. I used foam sheets to cut out legs but construction paper will work too. For the nose, I cut a triangle out of craft ...
