How to Make a Turtle out of Pixos
Pixos is an award winning craft set for kids. Using colored beads, a tray and a template they can make all sorts of objects including cars, animals, people and houses. When the beads are laid down in the Pixos tray, they just need to add water to stick them together. The better they get the more complex their designs. This turtle design is aimed at children who are just past the beginner's stage. Though the head and legs are flat, the turtle shell is layered. It may inspire your children to move onto more advanced techniques.
