Steps to Make our T is for Turtle craft
Making this turtle craft is a fun activity where kids can practice coloring, scissor skills, shapes like ovals and hexagons, and letter recognition all at the same time. So, let’s start!
Step 1
Download and print the letter T turtle craft template on two sheets of white cardstock paper. Simply enter your details in the form below to access the template and join our newsletter.
Step 2
Now kids can color in the template using their favorite colors. We used watercolor paints for our turtle craft.
Kids can also use crayons or markers if you prefer a mess-free activity.
Step 3
Carefully cut out all the parts of the turtle craft, including the letter T, turtle shell pieces, legs, tail, and head.
Step 4
Start by sticking the 6 hexagon shapes onto the oval-shaped turtle shell. Kids will enjoy arranging the shapes to create the turtle’s colorful patterned shell.
Step 5
Now stick the letter T on top of the turtle shell that we decorated. Then, stick the back legs behind the turtle shell.
Step 6
Then stick the turtle’s head to the top of the oval shell, slightly covering the top part of the letter T. You can also slightly tilt the turtle’s head to make the craft look even cuter and more playful. Then stick the little tail behind the bottom part of the shell.
Step 7
Stick the eyes onto the turtle’s face and draw a smile using a black marker. Then stick the little front legs onto the letter T on either side of the turtle’s face so it looks like the turtle is holding the letter.
Draw a few little spots on the turtle’s face using a black marker. And there you go, your cute T for turtle craft is ready.
