Numbers Snakes Paper Craft

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

Count by Ones:  Nicky the Numbers Snake

Count by Twos:  Two-Steppin' Tommy

Count by Fives:  Five Fingered Freddy

Count by Tens:  Chuck

Why does Chuck count by tens you ask?  I don't know, you'd have to ask Chuck!

 

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. 
  
bulletGlue the snake together in numerical order with the head at the front and the rattler at the back.  You can make him one long straight snake or a wiggly snake -- whichever you prefer!

 

Templates:
