Craft: Wiggly Snake
For kids from 3 y/o onwards.
Things you need:
Manila cardboard
Coloured papers
Crayon
Scissor
Glue
Nylon String
Firstly, draw a spiral (i.e. the snake) on the piece of manila cardboard and decorate them anyway that you like with crayons. Crumpled a small piece of coloured paper by rolling them with your thumb and index paper.
Glue all the cumpled papers anyway and anywhere your child prefer. Let them explore their imagination instead of telling them what to do. You will be surprise that they may turn out to be more artistic than you do.
Cut out a triangle for the tongue and make 2 dotted black eye for the snake. The adult might want to help the child by cut out the spiral line which will formed a snake. Lastly, poke a little hole on the top of the head and tie the nylon string.
You have now a bouncy little wiggly snake. Happy crafting…

Pretty cute. I thought it was a lot bigger until I saw the last pic with the hand there to give perspective.

That’s really nice. Good to see good ol’ fashioned fun and craft for the kids rather than the usual video and electronic games. Very cool.

yeah, kids tend to have more open creativity, tahts when they should develop their artictic side, when they grow up it will be too late to change the already stiff mind !!
