We love these colors – you can print them out on white paper and let your kids color the turtles however they like, or you can print the templates out on colored paper like we did. The sky’s the limit when it comes to colors.

How to make a turtle craft with paper rings

What you need:

Tip: It’s best to use cardboard for the turtle body and regular printer paper for the paper rings (but any type will do).

Step by step instructions

Print out the form.

Cut out both the turtle and the rectangle next to the turtle.

When it comes to colors, you can choose them completely randomly, use different shapes of the same color, use complementary colors….

Using the rectangle as a template, cut about 10 strips of paper (any color you want) roughly the size of the rectangle (they don’t have to be identical).

Cut, cut, cut.

Apply glue to one end of the paper strip.

And glue the two ends together to form a paper ring/roll.

Apply glue to one side of the paper roll…

…and glue it onto the turtle. It’s best to start in the middle as shown in the image below.

Continue with the remaining rolls of paper.

To make the turtle shell look better, gently press the paper loops down.

Done! The funny turtle is complete.

We hope you will create more of these adorable creatures.
