Download the turtle template, print, and cut out the pieces you need.
Fold the turtle shell base in half along the dashed line and cut out around the shell, leaving the top uncut.
Use a brown marker to draw shapes all over the shell.
Create the turtle by gluing the eyes on either side of the nose and mouth.
Next, glue the shell to the top of the turtle's body.
Finish up by opening the turtle's shell and writing a special message inside.
