Kindergarten- Texture Turtles

I love to read childrens books to inspire a lesson. In this lesson I read Dr. Seuss's Miles and Miles of Reptiles and Yertle the Turtle. We drew our turtles and then glued different donated fabrics to our turtles shells. Some even tried to create patterns! The kids loved them and I think they are adorable.

I used to be against glitter and google eyes but once I saw how truly happy it makes the kids I have to use it.. :) I think the little things that make them happy are starting to rub off on me too....
