posted by sreneedesigns on September 4th, 2010

Here’s what we did for Fun Friday on September 3

The Story

The book was The Snake A very Long Story by Bernard Waber

The Craft: Slinky Link Snake

What you’ll need:

  • 1″ x 9″ paper strips
  • 4″ paper square
  • 1/2″ x 3″ red paper strip
  • glue
  • scissors
  • markers

How to make it:

  1. Trim the square into a snake head shape.
  2. Glue a 1″ x 9″ paper strip end to end, forming a link. Hold the ends in place and allow the glue to set.
  3. Place another same-size strip through the link and glue the ends together to create an additional link. Continue adding links until the desired length is obtained.
  4. Use the markers to add facial features to the snake. Then accordion-fold the red strip and glue it to the head so it resembles a tongue.
  5. Glue the head to the first link of the chain. Hold it in place and allow the glue to set.
