This snake pencil topper is a great mess-free craft activity, particularly useful for the classroom or a group. Try it for Chinese New Year of the Snake? It might also be a fun craft for a reptile themed birthday party. To make the activity completely mess-free by avoiding any gluing, you could use sticky wiggle eyes and a glue dot to attach the tongue. Scroll down for instructions.
You will need:
2 pipe cleaners (we used extra fluffy long ones but ordinary ones will work)
Wiggle eyes
Scrap of red craft foam
Glue
Instructions:
Twist the pipe cleaners together to make one body.
Roll one end into a circle for the head.
Cut a forked tongue from craft foam.
Stick the tongue and eyes to the head.
Bend your snake into a coil, twisting tightly around the top of your pencil.
