How To Use the Build a Snake Printable
- Print as many as required onto white paper.
- Color (as required) and then cut the pieces out.
- Place the pieces in the correct order to figure out where everything goes before sticking them in place with a glue stick or roller glue tape.
- For an extra crafty dimension, why not mount the character onto a larger piece of paper and use other craft materials to embellish it?
- For example, glitter, fabric, craft foam, or tissue paper to name a few.
- You could use craft sticks and regular size characters to make little puppets for role-playing or storytelling.
- Why not use split pins to construct the characters instead of glue so that the character becomes movable?
- You could attach the characters to some ribbon or string and hang them around your room as bunting!
- Or why not number each of the pieces and turn it into a fun game with dice? Throw the dice and each time a number is rolled, you take that piece – the first one to complete their character is the winner!
