Proof that snow turtles really do exist was found today by a nosey writer who, while searching on the internet for information on turtles and winter hibernation, ran across this photo.

Further evidence was found on the website of Mrs. Taverna’s 2nd Grade Class when young 2nd Grader, Stacey, reported how a snow turtle could be made.

How to Make a Snow Turtle

By Stacey

Get about 29 bucket of snow.

Get 1 stick.

With the 29 buckets of snow you will have to get a long bucket for the legs.

Dig a hole in the ground until you see the dirt.

Get a circle shape for the head.

Stick the legs in the dirt.

Cover the dirt and pat the snow on the legs so the legs stick.

Get a middle size oval for the body.

Get a little bit bigger oval for the shell

Pick up the stick.

With the stick draw the designs like turtles have on their shell.

Take some dirt and you will make the shell.

Get food color and put the food color on the turtle so it looks pretty.

Remember...you heard it from here first! And — we all know that if it’s on the internet it’s true!
