Thanks to Marie for contributing this idea! This is a simple cut

dimensional turtle to display or play with.Materials:
- printer and paper
- stapler
- scissors
- glue
- printer and paper
- Optional: either wiggly eyes or white paper

Instructions:
- Print the template of choice
- Color the template pieces (if using the B&W version)
- Cut slits in each corner of the large body shape
- Staple or tape the paper together so it overlaps slightly and forms a bowl
shape
- Glue the eyes onto the head (moon shape)
- Glue the head onto the front of the body
- Kaitlyn, age 8, folded the head a little and glued that onto the body
(see photo at the top of this page). She was happy with this as
the head lay flat on the table that way.
- You could also just glue the head on a little higher and not fold it.
- Fold the tabs on the feet and tail and glue them to the inside of the body
Printing the Template:
- Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
- Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one
page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
