Toilet Paper Roll Snake Craft

This is a simple, tried and true snake craft anyone can make using toilet paper rolls.

Materials:

  • toilet paper rolls
  • strong scissors
  • hole punch
  • paints
  • 2 google eyes
  • red paper or pipe cleaner for a tongue
  • yarn, string, or pipe cleaners
  • glue
  • tape

Directions:

  1. Cut several toilet paper rolls in half and paint them. You can make your whole snake one color like green, but I think it's more fun to make different color segments and have kids practice making a pattern.
  2. Take a hole punch and punch 4 holes on each body segment and 2 holes for the head and tail parts.
  3. Tie the segments together with short lengths of string or pipe cleaners.
  4. Glue 2 eyes on the first segment for the head.
  5. Cut a red tongue from paper or a pipe cleaner and tape on the inside of the mouth.
