While my kids were homeschooling we learnt about the rainforest and jungle so making a rainforest animal craft seemed like a pretty obvious choice and this paper plate snake was an easy idea that I knew they’d both be able to make and enjoy despite the difference in their ages.
Paper plate snakes are a bit of a classic craft and I’m not sure who came up with them originally but there are lots of variations on the theme, we’ve made toilet roll snakes before when my son was in preschool and however you choose to create them they’re a great way for kids to practice scissor skills.
This snake craft uses pom poms for a simple painting technique that both my kids genuinely really enjoyed and that’s also good for supporting fine motor skills too.
