Numbers Snakes
Paper Craft
Contributed by Leanne Guenther

This is a simple cut and paste paper craft good "just for
fun", number practice, a reptiles theme, or an animals
theme. There are four different numbers snakes
available:
Count by Ones: Nicky the Numbers Snake
Count by Twos: Two-Steppin' Tommy
Count by Fives: Five Fingered Freddy
Count by Tens: Chuck
Why does Chuck count by tens you ask? I don't know,
you'd have to ask Chuck!
Materials:
 something to color with if using the B&W version,
 scissors,
 glue,
 paper.
 You can use brass tacks ("brads") instead of glue to
attach the pieces if you want it to be
 moveable. Keep in mind though that you'll need a
lot of brass tacks to do the entire thing and that they
can be hard for young fingers to manipulate... You
might want to just do the head and rattler and use
glue for the rest.
Instructions:
 Print out the craft template of choice.
 Color (if using the black and white version of the
craft) and cut out the template pieces.
 Glue the snake together in numerical order with the
head at the front and the rattler at the back. You
can make him one long straight snake or a wiggly
snake -- whichever you prefer!
Templates:
 Close the template window after printing to return to
this screen.
 Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting
the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or
FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
