Sticker time is fun! Here’s how to make a “Walkable Snake.” You’ll need colored construction paper, your favorite stickers, clear tape, and a pipe cleaner.

First, cut the colored paper into a snake shape with scissors.

Since you’ll be sticking stickers on it, it’s best to cut it a bit wide.

Next, fold the head area so there’s a flap where the pipe cleaner can be inserted.

Bend the pipe cleaner to a length that’s easy to hold, and secure it inside the fold with tape.

Once you decorate the paper with your favorite stickers, it’s done—hold the pipe cleaner and take your little snake for a walk! Making a face for the snake out of construction paper is super cute too, so give it a try.

Fun to play with! Here’s how to make a snake toy using colored construction paper.

Materials: one square sheet of colored construction paper, additional paper for the snake parts, glue, and crayons.

First, fold the colored paper using the “octopus” folding method.

Unfold it and draw the snake’s pattern in the center with crayons.

Fold it into a triangle so the pattern faces outward.

With the edge toward you, make narrow vertical cuts with scissors along the patterned area.

Glue the unpatterned ends so they overlap, then attach the eyes and mouth pieces you made from paper—and it’s done!

A snake that spins round and round in the wind

Here’s how to make a snake toy that spins around in the wind.

You’ll need one sheet of colored construction paper in your favorite color, round stickers for decoration, and kite string.

First, draw a four-turn spiral on the construction paper.

Cut along the spiral with scissors, then decorate it with the round stickers in colors you like.

Use a compass or similar tool to make a hole in the center, thread the kite string through the hole, and you’re done! If you hold the string and run, the snake will catch the wind and spin around! Making a snake face out of construction paper is also cute and highly recommended.

There aren’t many steps, so give it a try with your kids.

Hop and bounce! A snake made from a milk carton

[Craft Play] Jumping Fun! A Snake Made from a Milk Carton

It’s fun to hop and bounce! Here’s how to make a simple snake toy using a milk carton.

You’ll need a milk carton, four rubber bands, colored construction paper, glue, clear tape, and snake eye and tongue pieces.

First, cut off the spout section of the milk carton, then glue the colored paper onto the remaining carton.

Cut the carton into four equal sections.

On the four short sides, make slits just wide enough to hook rubber bands, and attach the rubber bands there.

Make four of these pieces, then connect the short sides of the milk carton sections with clear tape.

Finally, glue on the snake’s eyes and tongue, and you’re done!

A snake made with colored construction paper and chopsticks

Wiggly Snake #crafts #summerholidaycrafts

How about making a super realistic wiggly snake using colored construction paper and a chopstick? Cut slits into a rectangular sheet of colored paper, then form alternating loops.

Attach a chopstick in the center with double-sided tape, add the head and tail, and you’re done.

You can get interesting movement by attaching the chopstick from underneath, but if you attach it from above, the snake will look like it’s slithering along the ground with a very realistic motion! It’s a fun project to make with kids, so give it a try!

A simple-to-make twirly snake

[Craft Play 002] How to Make a Twirling Snake Toy: A Homemade Spinning Toy Using a Toilet Paper Roll (Quick Version, No Narration)

Here’s how to make a simple twirly snake using a toilet paper roll.

First, prepare one toilet paper roll and cut it in a spiral with scissors.

Make one end thinner to look like the tail.

The other end will be the head, so round it as you cut, then draw the eyes and mouth to finish.

If you roll it on a flat surface, the snake will spin around with a fun motion.

You can also draw patterns on the body or add your favorite stickers to make it look great!

Wiggly Snake Made from Empty Containers

Just connect empty containers♪ and the stretchable toy is complete

Here’s how to make a stretching snake toy by connecting empty containers! You’ll need a 60 cm elastic cord, four lactic acid drink containers, permanent colored markers, and eye parts.

First, punch a hole in the bottom of each drink container using an awl or similar tool.

Thread the elastic through the holes to connect the containers, then tie the elastic about 10 cm from the end where it comes out of the container’s mouth.

Pull the elastic from the opposite end, tie it at the bottom side, trim any excess with scissors, and draw snake patterns with the markers to finish.

For easy eyes, using round stickers is recommended.
