After big sister’s guide on how to make a dinosaur world yesterday, today little sister is taking over the blogging reigns with her design for how to make a junk model snake.
To make a snake like L’s you will need: toilet roll tubes, scissors, paint, a long ribbon, stapler
Start by cutting each toilet roll tube into three. Paint them in your favourite colours adding extra stripes and spots to make them fancy. Mix some colours together to try out some new shades too. Our favourite was purple.
Once the paint is dry, choose one hoop to be your snake’s head. Thread the ribbon through and staple it in place. Cut the end of the ribbon to make it look like a snake’s tongue.
Thread all the other hoops on to the ribbon to make your long snake.
To fasten the last one in place and stop your snake falling to pieces, loop the ribbon round the last hoop and fasten it with a knot.
Add some nostrils (a very funny word apparently) and some eyes and your snake is ready to go a-slithering.
