DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Paper Chain Snake
This is a fun, simple craft for all ages (even daddy has fun trying
to make the longest snake). It's also a good project for
practicing making patterns.
Materials
- construction paper (2 or 3 colors)
- small scrap of red construction paper
- scissors,
- scotch tape or glue,
- wiggly eyes (optional)
- black marker
Instructions:
- Cut about 16 strips of construction paper 2 inches wide and 10 inches
long
- Decide what type of pattern you want to make. We made a green,
green, yellow, green, green, yellow... pattern for ours.
Make your first strip of construction paper into a ring and tape or glue
it together
- Slide your next strip of construction paper through the ring and tape or
glue it into a ring
- Repeat the process until you have a long chain of construction paper
rings.
Tongue:
-
Cut a tongue shape from red construction paper
- Fold a small tab at the end and glue it onto the head (the
front construction paper ring)
Eyes:
-
Glue on wiggly eyes or draw eyes on with a marker
- We cut eyes out of red construction paper and drew an eye slit
in the middle of each with a black marker
