Directions:
 | cut three or four strips of construction paper about 1 or 2 inches wide and 11 inches
long (it doesn't have to be exact) and tape them together to make one long
piece (30 to 40 inches long)
|
| Repeat the first step to make a second very long strip of paper
|
| Note: There really is no limit to how long your snake can
be... just keep adding strips of construction paper to your accordion
folding. If the children enjoy the project, they may want to
"compete" with themselves or each other to see who can make the
longest snake (Kaitlyn's determined to make one that wraps all the way
around her bedroom). To take a break from folding, just scotch tape it
where you've ended off and then remove the tape the next time you want to
start folding.
|
| tape the pieces of paper together in an L shape
|
| accordion fold the paper (see the diagrams below if you don't know how to
accordion fold paper)

 |
STEP 1
tape as an L |
|
STEP 2
fold bottom piece over top piece |
|
STEP 3
crease to make another L |
|
STEP 4
repeat step 2 |
| Continue until you have 6 to 10 inches of unfolded paper left.
|
| Trim one color off and tape it so your accordion won't unravel (in
our case, we trimmed off the red color).
|
| Take a piece of construction paper the same color as the remaining long
strip. (in our case, blue)
 | Fold it in half
|
| cut out a heart
|
| use glue or tape to attach the heart to the back of the long strip to
make the cobra's head
