Father's Day Lollipop Turtles!

Sunday is Father's Day so we thought these Father & Child Turtle Arts and Crafts would be the perfect gift to show your Dad how much you appreciate him!


What you will need is:
-2 Original Gourmet Lollipops
-Scissors
-Glue
-Cardboard paper
-Green Paper

Optional:
-Computer 
-Printer

1. When we made our turtles we decided to create a template for their shells. You can save them here or draw your own turtle shells to add some of your own flair!

                       


2. Cut out your turtle shell and glue it onto a piece of cardboard paper so that they do not fold over the lollipop! We used a piece of green cardboard to match the shells!


3. Use your Green paper to cut out legs for your turtles! Glue these onto the bottom of the turtle shell!




4. The last step is to glue the shells on top of the lollipops so that they do not fall off! Line the glue on the top of the lollipop stick and your turtles are finished!




Turtle Fun Fact: Did you know that the oldest turtle in captivity lived to be 152 Years old?

Many people are quick to say that Candy does not improve your work habits.
