Sssssnakes !

Add some colourful snakes to your rainforest boughs! These are ssssoo easy to make and look bright and decorative too:

1) Use a brightly coloured pair of tights (striped or patterned are good) and stuff with newspaper or soft recyclable material.
2) Glue some 'googly' eyes on the snake's head. *
3) Cut out and attach a red felt forked tongue.

*As a twist on this one year I made small electrical circuits and put these in for the snake's eyes so that they literally glowed!

1) A CDT option is to cut kitchen rolls into circles 1" wide and paint about 12 of them for 1 snake. 2) For the head use a polystyrene / ping pong ball and paint it.
3) Stand card circles in a line and thread string through.
4) Space card circles slightly apart and sellotape string to top inside card and to snake head.
5) This makes a flexible snake that can also be turned into a puppet by adding 2 sticks at either end.
