Ingredients
- Freshly fallen leaves
- Glue
- Red construction paper
- Scissors
- Googley eyes
Instructions
- Begin your crafting adventure by venturing outdoors to collect a handful of freshly fallen leaves. Look for leaves of different shapes and sizes to add character to your leaf snake.
- Cut a snake tongue shape out of the red construction paper. Choose a leaf that looks like a snake head, rounded and pointy. Glue the snake tongue to one end. Glue both to a sheet of white construction paper. Draw the shape of the snake either an S shape or a spiral or whatever you link! This will be the guide for where you glue the leaves for the snake body.
- Glue a pair of googley eyes onto the head to give your leaf snake a whimsical and friendly expression.
- If you don't have rounded leaves, you can cut them into ovals or circles. Organize your leaves in a line, arranging them to create the body of the snake. Overlapping the leaves slightly will give the snake's body a more realistic appearance.
- Apply glue along the back of each leaf and press them onto the white construction paper, one after the other. This will create the snake's body. Continue this process until you've used all your collected leaves.
- Once you've added all the leaves, you can cut a small triangular shape from the red construction paper to create the snake's tail. Glue it to the end of the leafy body.
