Tilly the turtle is setting off on her first little journey. Her backpack holds everything she needs for a day of exploring. Add fun colors to Tilly and get her ready for the trail!
Tilly is ready to travel at turtle speed, which means she can notice every interesting pebble, leaf, and bug along the way! Her little backpack is packed for a day of exploring. Maybe it holds a snack, a map, or a favorite treasure. With her shell, sturdy feet, and determined smile, Tilly proves that you do not need to hurry to have a wonderful adventure. Where should her trail lead?
Make Tillyβs shell a mix of olive green, brown, and yellow, coloring each shell section a little differently. Her head and legs can be green or gray-green, with a lighter shade under her chin. Choose a bold color for the backpack, such as red, blue, or purple, so it stands out. Add a tan dirt path, bright green grass, and colorful flowers along the edges for a trail full of discoveries.
A turtleβs shell is part of its body, not a house it can climb out of. The top part is called a carapace, and it helps protect the turtle. Many turtles can pull their heads and legs inside their shells when they feel unsafe. Turtles come in many sizes: some are small enough to fit in a childβs hands, while others grow much, much larger. They can live on land, in water, or both.
