Popsicle Stick Airplanes!
Today I am posting a Popsicle stick airplane craft to make up for the lack of craft posting this past weekend!
There are tons of Popsicle stick airplane crafts that involve already colored sticks, but today's posting is based off of this website: http://kidschaos.com/lolly-stick-bi-planes/.
Have fun and enjoy!

Egg Carton Turtles!
It's turtle nesting season! Until sometime in October, according to Sea Turtle Conservatory (their website: http://www.conserveturtles.org/florida.php?page=nestingseason). The last day has not been announced yet, sorry.
These are super adorable and really simple, and I'm sure you can create any design on the turtle shell that you want!
