Snakes

We have a great storytime at our library and Miss Donna had the kids make these snakes this week, they were so great I had to share them. Plus I like a beading project a boy is interested in.

The triangles are cut in 3 sizes out of cereal boxes, with a hole punched in the middle of each. The head is a diamond folded in half, a hole in the middle, yarn strung through and stapled and a felt tongue. Large wooden beads are varied on the yard with the triangles, starting with the largest near the head and getting smaller. The tail is similar to the head, without the eyes.

A fun craft and a fun toy.

When little C broke his arm, his cast drove him crazy, he hated seeing it on his arm and wanted it off! I happened to have green socks and red ribbon, I originally had the plastic cup inside to add dimension to a viper-like head, but the boys like it as well without it.
