For the next activity, I casually asked LO "what collage next?", while looking at the zebra collage he made previously, and he replied, 'Snake collage'!!😨I didn't expect this answer (!), and I thought, OK lets have a try. So I planned like, lets draw a snake and let LO glue some roughly cut pieces on it. But before starting, I just browsed and got to know about this awesome idea of spinning snake! This is so interesting to make and finally you can hang it to see the beautiful spiral spinning snake.😊
Supplies:
- Construction Sheets - colors of your choice
- Scissors
- Glue
- Stick and a thread
- Googly eyes (Optional)
How do we make it:
For a change this time we used a dark colored drawing sheet instead of white. Trace the outline of the snake roughly as seen in the picture. You can also take a print of this snake by clicking here.
I drew small segments along the entire length of the snake. Made square pieces of different colors and LO glued them to make a beautiful snake collage.
Once the collage is done use scissors to cut along the spiral line from the outside edge to the center. Stick the googly eyes to complete the snake's head.
Poke a small hole into the center of the head. Pull a piece of thread through the hole from the top, and tie a big knot in it so the thread will not pull through (or attach a small weight to its end, like a bolt or screw). On the other end of the snake attach a stick, so that kids can make the snake dance by holding the stick.
Or just hang up the snake and watch it twirl around.
Truly, I didn't expect the outcome to be this much fun and interesting when we decided to do this. Thanks to LO for the idea!😜
Happy Parenting!😊
