How to Make a Popsicle Stick Turtle Craft
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Gather your supplies.
Step 2: Paint the Sticks
Paint all three craft sticks green. Let them dry completely so you don’t end up with fingerprints that look like swamp monsters.
Step 3: Make the Shell
Arrange the sticks into a triangle shape with the point facing down. This is your turtle’s shell. Glue or tape the corners securely so it holds together.
Step 4: Cut the Turtle Parts
Cut out your turtle parts from green construction paper.
Step 5: Attach the Head, Flippers and Tail
Glue the turtle parts to the back of the triangle: head at the top, flippers on the sides and bottom corners, and tail tucked underneath. Add the white paper eyes to the head and draw on black pupils and a little smile with your marker.
All done!
Your triangle turtle is ready to swim!
