What could be better than spending time with your favorite baby! All the more so when you are doing something interesting, fun and useful - creativity. The simplest and most accessible types of creativity are three-dimensional appliqué and crafts from colored paper.
This craft conveys the characteristic features of a real crawling creature. In this version, its body consists of a long chain, which allows it to crawl in any direction and braid different objects. So this paper craft will be a real boon for parents.

Stages of making a paper snake:
1. Let's start making the body of the snake. Cut out equal-sized strips of lettuce and green double-sided half-cardboard. There should be one less lettuce strip than green one. In this master class the strips have parameters - 6 x 1 cm.
2. Take one green strip and make a ring out of it.
3. Thread a strip of lettuce-colored strip through this ring. Fix its ends with glue.
4. Next, repeat the procedure, but only with the green strip.
5. Then continue the chain with the lettuce chain.
6. And then green again. So until all the stripes are used in the chain.
7. The final ring will be a strip of exactly green color. If you wish, you can make more stripes, which will allow the snake to be even longer.
8. Cut out a small tongue from red double-sided half-cardboard and two identical parts of the tail and head from green half-cardboard.
9. Glue two parts of the head to the first green ring. One will be at the bottom and the other at the top. Glue a red tongue in the middle.
10. Put green plastic eyes on the face.
11. Attach a ponytail to the end of the chain. One part will be at the top and the other at the bottom. Put glue on the very ends and press them together.
12. Our colored paper snake is ready! Now you can twist it in different directions, braid it in your hand and just play with it.
