Letter S - Snakes: Craft, Lego/Paper Plate Snakes, Snake Bubbles

Sparkly Letter S Snakes: I used a black permanent marker to draw two Letter S's on a piece of white card stock. Then I mixed a small amount of water and glue together in a bowl to make a paste. I painted the inside of the first Letter S with the glue/water mixture and helped Easton pour blue sparkles over the Letter S. I shook the paper and poured the extra sprinkles back into our container. We did the same process with our silver sparkly snake. Once the glue mixture dried, we glued on our goggly eyes and a snake tongue.

Paper Plate Lego Snake: We have stamped all sorts of things, and today we tried stamping legos! Of course, we had to do the color blue - Easton's favorite. I used both dark and light blue washable tempera paint. Easton dipped the lego in the paint and then stamped it onto a paper plate. After the paint dried I cut a swirl into the paper plate to make our snake. Easton glued on a snake tongue and goggly eyes. I saw a similar idea on Craft Morning making a bubble wrap paper plate snake.

Snake Bubbles: These were the highlight of the day! Easton's smile says it all.  Here's what you need:

Plastic Water Bottle (empty)
Scissors
Wash Cloth or Old Sock
Elastic or Rubber Band
Water and Dish Soap (we used blue dawn)
Mixing Bowl
Spoon

1. Use scissors to cut off the bottom of your plastic water bottle.
2. Wrap a wash cloth or old sock around the bottom of the water bottle and secure it using an elastic or rubber band.
3. Pour 1/4 cup of water and 1/4 cup of dish soap in a bowl and mix it together.
4. Dip the bottom of the bottle (the wash cloth or old sock) in the water/dish soap mixture.
5. Blow through the top of the bottle and watch your bubble snakes grow.
