We love sea turtles at my house!
I find the life cycle of sea turtles fascinating.
Especially how their Momma comes back to the place she was born to lay her eggs.
They are such amazing creatures!
Using a paper bowl as the turtle shell gives the craft a fun 3D effect that kids will love!

Instructions for how to make your own sea turtle kid craft
1.
Paint the Bottom of the Bowl
Pour some brown paint on a paper plate.
Use a sponge paintbrush to paint the bottom of a 20 oz.
Set aside your painted paper bowl sea turtle shell to dry completely.
Note:You dont need very much green paint on your sponge brush at all.
Cut out each of the pieces of the template.
Or its also fun for younger kids to use their creativity to make any shapes they want.
Then attach each of the arms and legs onto your sea turtle craft.
Add the Eyes and Face Features to Your Craft
Add two googly eyes on your sea turtle face.
Then use your black marker to draw two small nostrils at the end of the sea turtle face.
Your easy sea turtle craft is complete!
Kids can now move around their paper bowl to watch as their adorable turtle crafts swim and dance around.
