Product description
From the author
Make a moving snake puppet with a paper bag and the supplied color or black-and-white template. Print, color if desired, cut and glue the head and body to the bag, then let the puppet dry before use.
The eight-page PDF includes assembly guidance, two template pages, cover, license and publisher material. Supply the paper bag, scissors and glue separately. Use the finished puppet for a conversation or story retelling.

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Follow a multi-step sequence (print, color, cut, glue) to assemble a finished craft project.
Practice fine-motor cutting and gluing while assembling individual paper pieces onto a puppet base.
Teaching tips
Have students complete the coloring and cutting steps ahead of time if class time is limited, since the glue-and-assemble step is quick once pieces are ready.
Offer the black-and-white template to students who want to choose their own color scheme, and the full-color page as a reference for those who prefer to match it exactly.
Let assembled puppets dry fully before use, since the instructions specify handling the finished puppet only after drying.
Skills covered
Sequenced multi-step assembly — students follow print, color, cut, and glue steps in order to build a finished puppet.
Fine-motor cutting and gluing — students cut individual body pieces and glue them onto a paper bag base.
Imaginative/dramatic play — the assembled puppet's moving mouth supports retelling or role-play once complete.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
What are the two template options for the snake craft?
A full-color reference page and a black-and-white line-art version of the same template, so students can either match the color guide or choose their own colors.
How does the finished puppet move once assembled?
The head and body pieces glue onto a paper bag so a hand inside makes the snake's mouth open and close.
