Print Project

Step 1

On two sheets of construction paper paint polka dots with a foam Spouncer™ (or your fingertip). Let the paint dry.

Step 2

Cut 1"x12" strips of paper, then cut them in half (1"x6").

Step 3

Glue the ends of one strip together, creating a circle. Thread a second strip through the circle and glue the ends together to link the two together. Continue linking all of your strips for one long chain. Let glue dry.

Step 4

Fold a piece of paper and cut a u-shape. This will be the snakes face. Glue the bottom part to the inside of the chain.

Step 5

On top of the snake’s face, glue two wiggle eyes and a small piece of chenille pipe cleaners folded into a “V”, as shown.
