Materials:
Old, dry dish sponge
12” x 18” construction paper
Black marker
Two googly eyes
Glue dots, Elmer’s glue, or double-sided tape
Small puddle of tempera paint in a Styrofoam meat tray
Scissors
Directions: Using the black marker, draw a simple snake shape on the construction paper. Dip the edge of the dry sponge into the paint, hand it to your child, and encourage her to print stripes all along the snake’s body, end to end. Help her to print her stripes across the body, widthwise. Let the painting dry. Use two glue dots to stick the googly eyes to the snake. Finally, cut out the snake. Maybe an older child would like to help with the cutting!
