Turtles

Well this week our theme is pond and pond animals. Today, we created our own turtles using paper bowls as the turtles shell. I saw this in a copy of a Mailbox page that a teacher on my team had. I went online and found the legs and face of the turtles (Turtle Parts). They used watercolors to paint the bowls and crayons to color the legs and head. Then, I had them think if they were a turtle what would they want to carry in their shells. They could either draw pictures or write words, and then they glued them inside the bowl. I decided I wanted to hang them in my room so I went around and added a staple to make sure they didn't come off. They turned out super cute, and the kids had so much fun doing them!
