Color & Assemble! Turtle Split-Pin Activity
This Turtle Split-Pin Activity Kit is a downloadable resource designed to make practicing scissor and coloring skills enjoyable for young children. Simply download and print the turtle parts, color them as desired, cut them out, punch a hole with a single-hole punch, and assemble using split pins to create a movable turtle. This activity is perfect for children aged 4 and up, helping to develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. It also encourages creativity and concentration in a fun, engaging way.
To begin, it’s recommended that an adult prepares a completed example as a guide. Having a neat example to follow gives children a goal to work toward and enhances their motivation. As they learn to attach split pins on their own, children will also build confidence and experience a sense of accomplishment.
This product is a digital download in PDF format; scissors, coloring tools, a hole punch, and split pins are not included. For best results, print on slightly thicker A4 paper to create a sturdy finished piece. Please prepare any needed materials at home.
🏫 This material was created at our Montessori classroom in Tokyo.
