Here’s a cute little turtle seen from above, its shell covered in green scaly scutes — a perfect addition to your collection of ocean-themed designs! Every square on the grid is one bead on your square pegboard: start with the shell in the center, following the darker hexagon pattern, then add the head and the four little legs poking out on the sides.

A quick tip: fuse the olive outline of the legs and head first, it’ll give you a landmark so you don’t lose your bearings while filling in the rest. The shell itself comes together piece by piece, almost like a little puzzle — don’t worry if it takes a bit longer, that’s honestly the fun part!

Once ironed on both sides, your turtle makes a lovely little shelf decoration, or a fun fridge magnet. A calm, patient design, just like the animal it’s modeled after — a great one to make with the kids on a rainy afternoon.
