Turtle Aquarium
Put an Aquarium in your room with a turtle in it. Ask your local pet store how to set up the appropriate habitat. Children love to watch the turtle swim and crawl around. Hint: Don't let your children touch the turtle (they can carry diseases)

Tiny Tim the Turtle
I had a little turtle, his name was Tiny Tim
I put him in the bathtub, to see if he could swim
He drank up all the water, he ate up all the soap
and now he's sick in bed with a bubble in his throat hiccup

Turtle Ritz
Put peanut butter on Ritz crackers and let your children use pretzels to make the legs and tail of the turtle.
