From YouTube: ChYpPS Terry The Tortoise

Description

Aimed at children 5 and under

A

Hello, everybody and welcome to another uh craft activity with chips, and today I'm joined by andrea hello and we are going to be doing a tortoise craft there we go so it's activity, five, if you have one of the packs, but if you don't don't worry, what you're going to need is a paper plate, um but you could also use a circle of white card or whatever you like some green card or again color, something in green scissors, felt tips stickers or you can just draw some eyes on and some glue or tape.

A

So what we're going to do first is decorate our paper plate, so we are going to do what a tortoise shell could look like. You can also put stickers on and do your own designs as well, so I'm gonna do yeah. So I'm just going to show you one I made earlier so that looks quite sort of like well vaguely like a tortoise, but I think I'm going to do a disco tortoise for this one. Oh, I love that and I'm gonna yeah.

A

Multicolored and I'm just going to do a sort of a general tortoise shell and you've got to think of a really good name for your tortoise as well. It's true so yeah we company named r1. What was it terry? Oh I like that terry, the tortoise. It's got a little ring to it, isn't it but well you could do a turtle or a yeah tortoise or a turtle. Yeah cherry pin, oh yeah, I used to have one of those.

A

Did you live in your garden? um It was a. It was in a tank in the living room.

A

Right, oh, I don't want that color!

A

Okay, also, I'm going to bling mine up. um I've got some stickers that again, you might have in your activity pack, but if you don't have any, don't worry, like I said, mine's a oh, a disco tortoise I've just done sort of a torture show on the back of my plate, okay, cool, and so you can take as much time as you want decorating your plate.

A

um We obviously rush this process a little bit just because we want to get to the next part of the video for you, but you can pause it and then join us when you're, ready and you're done decorating your plate.

A

However you'd like so the next thing you're going to do, is you need to draw a head for your tortoise and some feet, so the head is sort of a long circle on top of a little rectangle and that rectangle is going to be helpful for when you're trying to stick things on and what could be a good idea if you as you need four legs.

A

If you fold your bit of card or a bit of paper in half, then if you only have to draw two and then cut out twice and then you'll have four when you come to it, which is always nice, clever, thicker, so the feet shapes are just sort of give yourself a little bit of a rectangle a little bit of space for sticking and then.

A

There, okay, just that sort of shape, cool yeah, yeah, brilliant.

A

Great okay, so we're just gonna cut that out.

A

Yeah, it saves a lot of time if you fold it and also all four look the same, then don't they with the legs.

A

There we go there. We go that's two and then we're going to do our next two.

A

Oh I've cheated. I've done four. At the same time.

A

Oh yeah, oh wow, yeah, you can cut your if you want to be really crafty like andrew hold your favorite paper before I don't even think, that's just lazy and then for your head. You just need this shape and for your tail you just need a little triangle.

A

A

There we go and what you're going to do once you've got all of those cut out, is you're going to attach them onto the underside of your paper plate. So you can use tape or glue to do this. I've got some tape.

A

And you just need to put your head and your legs where they would normally go so head sticking out the top.

A

Like that and we're going to put on some legs.

A

And I'm sticking my last leg on now and then just need to put the tail on, and then terry or tabitha toby or what are the good teen names um is anyone here. Does anyone watching have a teen name and you could name the tortoise after yourself?

A

There we go so we have all our our head and our four legs or arms on and our little tail and then what I'm just gonna do is. I have some handy sticky eyes, but you can also draw them. Oh that's, cool and I'm just gonna. Stick these on.

A

And give them a little smiley face.

A

But if you didn't have sticky eyes, you can also draw them or you could cut them on cut them out on a bit of white paper and stick those on oh yeah, mine's, very happy there. He is mine, looks a bit sleepy!

A

Oh, I think I've. Oh my mother's just lost a leg.

A

Oh get that back on there you go, but you could go on and you can do little toe give them toes. If turtle they do have toes, don't they yeah because they have like little claws. I think they're there so pop on some toes or claws and just keep adding to it as much as you like until you're happy with your finished tortoise or turtle.

A

Extreme close up.

A
