Directions:

First assemble the base of your tortoise by gluing your popsicle sticks together to look like a fence {7 next to each and two across}
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.
Now grab your cardstock and cut out other features to give the turtle life {think legs, head etc}
To finish off the Popsicle Stick Turtle craft, glue your cardstock pieces in place and add on the eyes & mouth.
Follow that up by adding other embellishments you see fit and displaying it proudly for all to see!!!
