Yogurt pot Turtles

I saw on a website about how to make these cute turtles from tippy yogurt pots (fruit corners to everyone else!) So we had a go and I think they turned out really well. We extended the learning and read some books about turtles and find out where they live and what they like to eat. It's a good example of how any activity with children can always be an opportunity for wider learning and understanding. For example while we did this we talked about the colours of the paper, the sizes of the pieces and counting how many we needed. They also had the opportunity to practice fine motor skills through tearing the paper and picking up the little pieces. And the finished product was played with too!!
