"I really enjoyed watching this video and can't wait to do it with my girls. My only issue that there is a lot of drag on the video. Great job and thanks for sharing...."

"This is a great craft for so many reasons. First of all, I love ice cream and pom poms! But for the kids, it's a matching game, and a chance to play make-believe ice cream shop. I'm looking at my yarn stash today to see what colors I have that look like ice cream colors. Then I get to make pom poms!"

"This egg carton turtle is both easy and fun to make – and seriously… an egg box does not get much cuter than this!! This is such a good idea to do when learning about the sea or reptiles! It is also a FANTASTIC way to start talking about nature conservation – and about protecting the beaches – and no drive areas where the turtles lay their eggs."

Just love using the paper egg cartons for crafts since they are readily available. These turtles are the cutest and as mentioned what a great way to bring up a lesson on these creatures. Add a flat bottom and glue on a magnet so this buddy can hang out on the fridge! Love it! Thanks for sharing!

I am forever looking for things to do with my niece and nephew, at the minute my nephew is obsessed with a film/cartoon about sea turtles so I have stumbled across this at the perfect time to make them with him! I can't wait to try them out with him

OMG. These are so incredibly adorable. I think my godkids would love these... especially with Finding Dory set to come out in June (those little buggers always did love Squirt more than anyone else). Thanks!
