Egg Carton Turtles

Hop into eco-friendly crafting with these charming DIY Egg Carton Turtles, perfect for upcycling and hands-on play. ♻️ Start by cutting individual "shells" from an old egg carton and painting them green using Bostik Coloured School Glue (Green) for both color and stickiness.

Add personality with glitter, sequins, or patterns using extra Blu Tack to create eyes, scales, or decorative flair. It’s an easy, low-mess craft that sparks creativity and teaches recycling, all wrapped up in a delightful turtle keepsake. 🐢
