How do you make this turtle craft

---

1. Use a saw to cut a small tree branch into round cylinder blocks.  The branch I used had a diameter of 10 cm. I cut the cylinder block 20 cm long.
2. Using a glue gun, glue the round piece of foam onto one of the ends of the cylinder block. 
3. Let your children press the foam end of the stamp into the ink pad and make prints on a plain piece of paper.
4. Next, pick up a pencil and start creating all sorts of wonderful turtle pictures using the stamped circle as the turtle’s shell.
5. Here’s a video to help you get the idea.

 Here’s a few examples. The turtles you can draw are endless.
