Snakes might seem a little scary, but this craft turns them into something fun and friendly! Let’s make your very own colourful paper snake, perfect for Nag Panchami.
What You’ll Need
- Strips of coloured paper
- Glue
- Googly eyes (optional)
- Scissors (child-safe)
- Markers or crayons, for decorating
Steps
Step 1: Cut a long strip of paper. Ask a grown-up to help if needed.
Step 2: Coil it loosely. Roll the strip into a loose spiral, like a snake curled up and resting.
Step 3: Add a face. Glue on two googly eyes near one end, and draw a friendly little smile.
Step 4: Decorate the body. Use markers or crayons to add dots, stripes, or patterns along the coil.
Step 5: Show it off! Your friendly snake craft is ready to display, or even give as a Nag Panchami gift.

Did You Know?
- Real snakes don’t have eyelids – they can’t blink, which is why they always seem to be staring!
- Snakes shed their skin as they grow, sometimes several times a year – a bit like outgrowing old clothes.
- Not all snakes are dangerous – most species people encounter are actually harmless and help control pests like rats and insects.
