Snake Mobile

You’ve might have seen these around the world wide web.  The boy and I actually created one last year, but I thought it was the perfect craft to pull out for our Rain Forest week. 

This is a simple craft with very little prep.  We still have to add our final touches to ours, but painting is always a big hit for my boy.

Materials: snake mobile printable paint colors of your choice (or other color medium) paint brushes scissors single hole punch 2 ½‐foot long piece of yarn, any color Paper clip Optional Googly‐eyes Red yarn glued over tongue

Directions:

• Print the spiral snake pattern onto the cardstock (or draw your own
  spiral snake pattern on cardstock).

• Cut along the outside edge and follow the spiral all the way to the center of the design. (Painting first may prevent you from seeing the spiral line, that’s why I suggest to cut it first.  We didn’t do that and I just guess where I was suppose to be cutting.)
• Paint one or both sides of the snake with color(s) of choice. For more advance kiddos, they can create a pattern on the snake’s body.

  

• Optional: Glue a piece of red yarn to the snake’s tongue and two googly-eyes to its head.
• Poke a small hole at the end the snake’s tail.
• Attach paper clip through the hole.
• Tie one end of the yarn to the other side of the paperclip.
• Hang your snake mobile in desired location.

Have fun creating with your tot.
