Crafts: Bubble wrap snake

There are so many great crafts to make with paper plates, which is great news for us mums because we always seem to have a plentiful supply of them after a party. This idea is simple, fun and sure to capture your little one’s imagination.

 

What you will need:

 

• Paper plates
• Scissors
• Bubble wrap
• Rolling pin
• Paint
• Googly eyes
• Ribbon
• Tape
• Glue

 

 

Method:

1. Wrap your bubble wrap around the rolling pin and secure with tape.
2. Squirt some paint onto a paper plate, then roll your bubble wrap back and forth until each bubble is covered in colour.
3. Next, take a blank paper plate and roll the newly-painted bubble wrap all over it, leaving the imprint of the bubbles, and creating a snake-like skin.
4. Leave your plate to dry, then cut a swirling circle into to create the body.
5. Attach some googly eyes using a dab of glue, and a ‘forked’ piece of ribbon for your snake’s tongue.
