Poseable Snake

An easy craft, intended for toddlers and pre-schoolers. A parent or carer will need to do the cutting out and fastenening the pieces together.

You will need:

Card
Scissors
PVA glue
Tissue paper
Paper fasteners/brads
Wiggley eyes



Cut out 3 strips of card of approximately 3cm x 13cm. I just used a cereal box. Curve the ends of the strips.



Cut your tissue paper into small pieces. Cover the card strips with PVA glue and let your child stick on the tissue paper. If your child prefers, they could paint or colour the snake in with crayons or pen instead.



When the glue has dried cut the excess tissue paper from around the edges.



Fasten the snake together using 2 paper fasteneners or brads. To finish, give him googley eyes.
