2. Cut an oval shape out of the beige cardboard to represent the turtle's shell. Pour a small quantity of green poster paint in one of the pie plates. Press the cork in the paint and then on the shell to add scales. Let dry.

4. Use the scissors to cut two small slits in the pie plate, just large enough to slide a Popsicle stick through.

8. Glue the « X » under the turtle so that the tips of the sticks can be seen on either side of the turtle (the turtle's legs).
