Color Turtles
Cut turtle shapes out of light green construction paper. Give each child a
turtle shape and help the child use crayons to draw one dot of red, black,
yellow, green, blue, purple, brown, white and orange on the turtles back.
Then recite the poem and have the children point to each color on the turtles
back as you name it.

I can name these colors,
All so very bright,
Red, yellow, blue, purple,
Green, brown and white.
Don't forget the color orange
And the the color black,
These are the colors of
The dots upon my turtles's back.
Paper Plate Frog
Paint the underside of a paper plate green. When dry, fold in half. Cut 4 frog legs from fun foam. Place 2 of the legs to the side of the folded plate and staple closed. Glue the other 2 legs to the underside at the back for the rear legs.
Turtle Fun
Find a round, smooth rock. Draw a turtle shape, larger than the rock, on a
piece of heavy poster board or cardboard. Cut out the turtle shape, cover it
with green paint, and let it dry. Glue the rock to the turtle shape. Then
paint the rock with green paint. Add details to the back of the turtle and
head with black paint.
Then they can use their little turtles to act out this poem:
Little Turtle
Little turtle in your shell,

Slowly you do go.
Slowly creeping, slowly crawling,
Slow is nice, you know!

Ducky Treats
Need:
Prepare cupcakes ahead of time to use for the duck's head. For the duck's
face, have the children help to add a few drops of yellow food coloring to
coconut and set aside. Spread each cupcake with yellow frosting. Sprinkle
with yellow coconut (if some children prefer not to have the coconut, that's
fine). Have the kids add two chocolate chips for eyes and a candy corn for
the beak. Yum!!
