Egg Carton Turtles

Hop into eco-friendly crafting with these charming DIY Egg Carton Turtles, perfect for upcycling and hands-on play. ā™»ļø 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. Use Blu TackĀ® Colour to form the turtleā€™s head and legs, offering a soft and moldable touch thatā€™s great for little fingers. Add personality with glitter, sequins, or patterns using extra Blu Tack to create eyes, scales, or decorative flair. Itā€™s an easy, low-mess craft that sparks creativity and teaches recycling, all wrapped up in a delightful turtle keepsake. šŸ¢
