I'm kind of proud of this one (to tell the truth lol!), it came out great and Nathan is LOVING it. He's been playing with it ever since I told him the glue was dry!!
This craft is super cute, but it be honest it is a little time consuming and requires adult help with some of it. You will need empty toilet paper or paper towel rolls, green and black paint, red ribbon or scrap of red paper (for the tongue), 2 wiggly eyes, glue, paper clips and string.
Then paint the sections green (you can paint the insides too - we didn't).
Next, using black paint, paint a design or stripe on the green paint.
When the paint is dry, using a hole punch, make holes on both ends of the tube. Take the paper clips and clip the tubes together on both sides (leaving some slack for the snake to wiggle around).
Glue on the wiggly eyes and tongue
Attach a string to the inside to make a cute pull toy.
We used the time while the paint dried to practice writing the letter S.
And yes, my table is now free of green paint Hahaha! That poor table has taken so much abuse from my kids!

Swinging by from SITS to say hello :)
My daughter would love this! I was saving rolls in our cupboard, she found them, went through our craft book, found a craft for them, and now we have a castle out of toilet paper rolls. I love this idea. I was just thinking this morning of how I could further pound recycling into my kids heads. :)
wow. if i was as good of a mom as you, then...i don't know what. i be pretty awesome.
u rock and ur totally a cutie!! love the header :)

So cute and it looks very easy! Thanks for the idea.
that's a great craft! I know my older girl would like it...but the younger girl would probably destroy it so I will have to wait a bit before creating one :)
