* Set aside to let it dry completely.
* Now go ahead and squirt the craft paint on the paper plate.
* Next have your child paint the front of their popsicle stick fence completely green.
* Once done, tear a few pieces of brown & green tissue paper and have children glue them on the “shell” of the tortoise.
