Heres a twist on paper chains that is a fun activity for small or large groups of kids. Link rings of construction paper together to form a long multi-colored snake that makes a terrific decoration hung from the ceiling, draped around the room, or framing a bulletin board. Turn it into a contest to see who can make the longest snake, create the funniest (or scariest) snake, or the most creative snake. A great party craft, too!
Form the construction paper strips into rings and glue or tape the ends together. As you make the rings, link one ring into another to form a chain. Mix the ring colors in any order you like. Make the chain of rings as long as you like.
On another piece of construction paper, draw a snake head. Draw a face on the head and cut it out. If you like, cut out a long thin tongue from red paper and glue it to the snake's mouth. Glue the head to one end of the paper chain. Voila! You have a circly snake!
