Dancing Turtle

turtle craft

There's a dancing turtle craft in our Pond Coloring Club ready to be made! Your children can paint, color or use crayons and pencils in the colors of their choice before cutting and arranging.

The pieces can be attached with brads (split pins) to allow turtle to dance through the water! 

Once the turtle are on display, have students extend their fine motor experience by making some wavy, twirling water for the bulletin board or line.

Simply give them a thin strip of crepe paper ) or a blue streamer roll and show them how to twist along the length. Using their thumb and pointer fingers on both hands they will pinch and twist in opposite directions.

Here is the real dancing turtle if you need a short, happy brain break! 


I hope your children enjoy making their turtle. You may also like:
