Snake Shaper

What You’ll Need:

• pencil
• paper
• scissors
• poster board
• hole punch
• metal fasteners
• glue
• wiggle eye

How to Make It:

1. For a pattern, trace the shape at right onto paper, then cut it out.

2. Trace around the pattern at least seven times onto poster board. Cut out the shapes, and punch a hole in both ends of each one.

3. Connect the shapes with metal fasteners. Trim the end shapes to look like a snake’s head and tail. Glue on a paper tongue, a wiggle eye, and punched-paper circles.

4. See how many pictures you can form using the snake, or use it to play letter or number games with a young child.
