Hanging Spiral Snake Craft

This is a nice looking paper snake craft you can hang up and watch twirl around.

Materials:

• green construction paper (alternatively, use a paper plate and paint it green.)
• scissors
• crayons
• string

 

Directions:

1. Using the template below or free hand, draw a spiral on green or other color construction paper. Personally, I think it's easier to draw on a paper plate, but you have to paint it first.
2. Cut out the spiral along the lines.
3. Decorate your snake.
4. Poke a hole in the end at he middle of the spiral and tie a string to hang up.

I've seen this craft done with the head hanging down or with the tail hanging down. I think it makes more sense that the head is at the bottom, but you can do it either way.

 

Here's the template from DLTK:
