My name is Moko, a mother of three who admired my mother and worked in the care industry as a care worker and as a medical social worker (MSW) in a hospital. I will be drawing on my previous experience to write mainly about caregiving. Thank you in advance.

At New Year’s craft sessions, it’s common to make the animal of the zodiac for that year.

This time, here are some origami snake ideas.

Some people may feel a bit uneasy about snakes.

For those people, we’re also sharing a cute snake folding method!

It can be fun to have each senior draw a face on their snake to create a variety of unique characters.

There are also many unique folding styles, like three-dimensional snakes, or snakes that move or pretend to bite.

Some steps are a bit detailed, but please enjoy making them while staff provide support as needed.

When you think of snakes, you probably picture their long, slender bodies and the way they slither with their tongues flicking.

With a bit of creativity, you can fold a square sheet of origami paper to capture those snake-like features.

The folding steps are mostly simple, so many older adults can also enjoy taking part in making them.

Another nice point is that you can use origami to express the body patterns as well.

If you insert a wire while folding the body, you can pose it in a wriggling shape and keep it that way.

The finished piece turns out very cute, so it’s a recommended craft even for people who aren’t fond of snakes.
