Here are a few ways to extend the fun of this song:
Craft idea: Make a turtle puppet: here is a paper hand puppet idea, and here is a cute glove puppet. Put the puppet on, and tuck your fingers under the “shell” to hide the hands and feet, until the end when the turtle says “Si tengo manos, si tengo pies.”
