Egg Carton Turtles

By Maggie Mackay, Macaroni Kid Publishing Mom in MD August 24, 2011

I love this craft because it is "green".  Great to reuse items.


What You Need:

  • Egg Cartons- cut into a square (4 egg holes/squares total)
  • Paint
  • Construction paper
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • 2 small googly eyes

What Youl Do:

  • Paint the egg carton and allow it to dry.
  • Cut a head, 4 legs and a little tail out of construction paper. Glue them to the underside of the egg carton, so they stick out.  I made a small little fold at the end of each piece which made it easier to attach to the underside of the carton.
  • Glue 2 googly eyes to your turtle’s head.
