Before Chinese New Year, I had seen this cute snake craft at Diana Rambles. Unfortunately we didn’t get around to doing the craft as part of our Year of the Snake celebrations. However, after we saw a snake cross our path on a recent family hike, I decided to this craft now in honor of spring. 🙂
To do this craft, I gathered the following materials:
- Chenille stems
- Glue
- Beads
- Wiggle Eyes
To get the kids started, I twisted the chenille stems into a diamond shape at the end in order to make the head of the snake (and also to make sure the beads didn’t fall off).

This was a super quick to prepare and mess free after school craft activity. The girls loved it and only stopped when we ran out of googly eyes.

So glad you had fun with it!
