- Now, again cut a circle of around 8cms from the green sheet and cut it and keep aside.
- Now stick the light green circle on top of the bigger green circle.
- Finally, stick the smaller green circle on top of the light green circle.
- Now we have the bony case of the tortoise ready
- Next, we need the yellow sheet of paper for the face, legs and the tail.
- Draw and cut 5 circles of around 4cms. One for the face and 4 for the legs.
- Next, draw and cut a circle of around 2cms for the tail.
