Turtle Puzzles for Young Solvers

UPDATE 9/22/2021 - The Turtle set has been retired from my store, but you can still grab a copy by clicking on the picture below and downloading it from Google Drive! 

And my turtle puzzle pack is complete!  This pack contains 20+ puzzles for solvers around grades K-3.  I've separated the puzzles into two sections, one for easier puzzles and one for harder puzzles.  There is also a bonus section with a matching game.  There are 8 different types of turtles which can be printed up as trading cards or the matching game.  Information about the turtles can be printed on the backs of the cards.  My kids were very excited about the trading cards and made sure they each had all 8 cards!

The set contains the standard puzzles, crosswords, word searches, mazes, etc.  There are also 2 dot-to-dots, one easy and one harder.  This was my first attempt at a dot-to-dot puzzle, so I'm hoping they turned out ok!  Also included are scute matching puzzles, which I think are a lot of fun!

Students completing these puzzles will learn all about turtles...body parts, habits, and trivia.  Several puzzles are themed around "green things".  There are also a couple of puzzles that deal with different species of turtles and fun information about them.  These puzzles would be perfect for a unit about turtles or reptiles.  And turtle lovers will totally enjoy them too!
