Paper Plate Turtle Craft Supplies:
* Large Paper Plate {one per turtle craft}
* Green Tissue Paper {I used two shades of green}
* Green/White Construction Paper {for the legs, tail & head}
* White School Glue
* Craft Scissors
* Paint Brush
* Stapler

Directions:
* First cut your tissue paper into squares. Set aside.
* Out of your construction paper, cut out 4 legs, 1 head and 1 tail for the turtle. Don’t forget eyes!
* Now slather a good amount of glue on the backside of your paper plate. Use a paint brush to really cover it.
* Ask your child to place the tissue paper squares on the paper plate, until it’s completely covered. Set aside to let it dry completely.
* To finish off the paper plate turtle craft – staple the construction paper pieces in the designated spots to give the turtle life.
