Paper & Card

Bend, fold, colour or print - the possibilites are endless with Paper & Card!

Paper Plate Turtles

  • Step 1Paint your plate green. Allow to dry. This will become your turtle’s shell.
  • Step 2Dot some spots of glue on top of the shell and sprinkle glitter on top for sparkle.
  • Step 3Draw four flipper shapes onto green cardboard and cut them out.
  • Step 4Draw a circle shape on green cardboard and cut it out to make your turtle head (approx 10 - 12cm).
  • Step 5Paint the edge of your flippers with glue and sprinkle with glitter. You could also add sequins. Allow to dry.
  • Step 6Attach the head and flippers. Use sticky tape for your turtle’s head and paper fasteners for the flippers (paper fasteners allow your turtle’s flippers to move).
  • Step 7Add some wiggle eyes, attach with glue, and you’re done!
