Paper Turtle Craft to Do With Kids
The key to kids learning to read and write is building those fine motor skills. If you are looking for a fun way to do that, this paper turtle craft will help build those fine motor skills while making a super cute turtle!
Of course, to develop children’s fine motor skills, spatial intelligence, and logical thinking, you can teach them how to make a medium difficulty origami turtle. All you need is colored origami paper, patience, and good instructions. However, origami can be difficult sometimes, so put it aside for older kids with a passion for crafts that also teach them a thing or two about geometry.
If you want to make this craft even more educational, you can read a turtle book before doing the craft! Here are some excellent reads to go along with your paper turtle craft:
