Accordion-Fold Paper Snakes

Accordion-fold crafts are always a favorite in our house. My kids had so much fun making these, and even more fun playing with the finished craft.

Supplies

Colored Paper
Pencil
Scissors
Glue or glue stick
Wiggly eyes
Black marker

Accordion Fold Paper Snakes-1

Step One

Cut out all your snake shapes. You will need two strips of paper for each snake body (more for a longer snake), a snake head shape, and a tongue.

Accordion Fold Paper Snakes-2

Step Two

Glue two paper strips together to begin the accordion fold. Fold the paper strips accordion-style and secure with glue. You can glue two of these accordions together for longer snakes.

Accordion Fold Paper Snakes-3

Step Three

Now, glue the snake’s tongue under the head and glue the head on the accordion snake.

Accordion Fold Paper Snakes-4

Step Four

Next, glue the wiggly eyes on the snake’s head and draw nostrils using the black marker.

Accordion Fold Paper Snakes-5

That’s it! This is another simple craft that is as fun to play with as it is to create! My kids had so much fun making these little snakes jump all over the table.

Hi my name is Kyla and I am the owner of MyFUNvelope. I have six wonderful children who keep me busy and love to craft and discover just like their mom!

MyFUNvelope is a Canadian craft subscription box delivering fun to children ages 3-9. Our mission is to provide an affordable craft subscription that inspires children and keeps them interested and engaged. Each month, we deliver a themed craft kit right to your door. Each Myfunvelope contains 4 crafts or activities, one STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) activity to promote hands-on learning, a learn-to-draw card, and a paper craft. Markers, scissors, and glue dots are also provided.

MyFUNvelope was created by a busy mom for busy moms! We aim to create kits that are fun for kids and stress-free for moms with little mess. I promise no glitter!!! We also send glue dots instead of glue to make it easier for smaller children to craft independently.

We are passionate about our company and its mission. We would love to hear any feedback or suggestions you may have for us.
