DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Alphabet Snakes Paper Craft

This is a simple cut and paste paper craft good "just for fun", alphabet practice, spelling practice, a reptiles theme, or an animals theme.  If you like, you can mix and match the colors to make different patterns.  There are different types of snakes you can make:  Lower Case Alphabet,  Upper Case Alphabet,  Spelling Words,  Vowels (aeiou).

snake craftThe pieces for this craft are fairly large (there are three pieces on each page -- making the entire alphabet take 9 pages).  This looks terrific on something like a school bulletin board, but can be a bit large for small individual projects.

If you would like to do a smaller alphabet snake, make your own small oval template from a piece of cardboard or margarine container lid.  Allow the children to trace this onto pieces of construction paper and allow them to print the letter on the piece.  Add wiggly eyes and a red construction paper tongue!
