Colors Snakes Paper Craft

This is a simple cut and paste paper craft good "just for fun", colors practice, a reptiles theme, or an animals theme.  There are two different colors snakes available:

Multiple Colors:    Connie the Colors Snake

Rainbow Colors:  Rayna the Rainbow Snake

Materials:

bullet something to colour with if using the B&W version, 
bullet scissors, 
bullet glue, and 
bullet paper.   
  
bullet You can use brass tacks instead of glue to attach the pieces if you want it to be moveable. Keep in mind though that you'll need a lot of brass tacks to do the entire thing and that they can be hard for young fingers to manipulate... you might want to just do the head and rattler and use glue for the rest.
  
  

Instructions:

bulletPrint out the template of choice. 
 
bulletColour (where appropriate) and cut out the template pieces. 
  
bulletIf doing the rainbow snake, glue Rayna together in Rainbow color order -- Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet -- with the head at the front and the rattler at the back.  You can make her one long straight snake or a wiggly snake -- whichever you prefer!
  
bulletIf doing the colors snake, glue Connie together in whatever order you prefer.  (You can add an aspect of alphabet practice by gluing her together in alphabetical order.)
