If you are like me you probably have some old CD’s laying around collecting dust. In fact some of the young kids don’t even know what CD’s are!  Give them a history lesson while creating some fun art.  Try these fun crafts below.  These crafts are also great for Earth Day.

CD Turtle

Materials: CD, green construction paper or foam sheet, glue, googly eyes or eye stickers, string, craft gems or anything to decorate your turtle with.

Step 1: Draw and cut of legs and a head of a turtle.  You can free hand draw one or you can look on-line for a turtle template.

 

 

Step 2: Glue legs and head onto the back (non shiny side) of the turtle.

Step 3: Stick eyes on the head of  your turtle.

Step 4: Decorate with craft gems.

Step 5: Glue string on the back to hang.
