Painted Paper Snakes

On February 10th we will enter the "Year of the Snake"
Actually it is "The Year of the Black Snake" so maybe we should have painted them black.
Well...we'll leave that up to the next artist. Children may have a different opinion and want to choose their own colors.

  • Begin by painting with any color(s) you like.

  • We did one snake on large paper and one on a paper plate.

  • We used orange, brown and green paint and used pattered foam rollers.

  • After drying, draw a spiral on the back of your paper.
           Note that the head will be in the center of the plate.
