Make a Fruit Sea Turtle

What You Need

  • 1 pineapple rind (or any melon rind will do)
  • 4 peeled orange segments
  • 1 grape
  • toothpick
  • dried black-eyed peas

What You Do

  • STEP 1: MAKE THE TURTLE’S SHELL

    For this sea turtle’s shell, cut a slice from the rind of a pineapple (or melon) and place it on a plate.

  • STEP 2: CREATE THE FLIPPERS

    Arrange four peeled orange-segment flippers under the “shell.”

  • STEP 3: ADD THE HEAD

    For the head, attach a grape to the pineapple with a toothpick. Press two eyes into the grape.

TIPS & TRICKS

If you don’t have any dried black-eyed peas, you can use raisins or chocolate chips for the turtle’s eyes.
