Supplies: Scissors, Glue, Markers, Tape, Paper Plate-Any size, I used a 6.5”, Green paper or white paper if you wish to color it your own shade of green

Print out the pattern, or ask a grown-up for help.

Cut out a long strip  from an 8 ½ x 11 sheet of paper as shown on the pattern.Fold the strip so as to strengthen it. Cut out a shorter strip and fold it and tape it as shown in the video. This piece will form the head and tail of the turtle.
