Very easy activity for little ones - take a large paper plate and let children sponge paint it - use a couple of colours. Adult will need to help with the next bit - when dry cut the plate in a circular, spiral shape - add two googly eyes to head (innermost bit) and a bit of coloured paper for the tongue if wanted. Punch a hole in the head and hang up - the spiral will open out when you do this.

We did this activity this morning but just used card cut into a circle. The kids coloured and stuck stickers on and then a piece of string to hold it with :)

Great minds and all that! :laughing: The boys were making snakes tonight with paper plates.

They struggled to get the thickness right so we printed from DLTK onto card and they focussed on their cutting skills.
