Fun Animal Friday Snake Craft

Craft a sssuper long snake!

Activity best for children age 3 and up

Today we met two different reptiles with Pacific Animal Productions during our Fun Animal Friday event. One of those reptiles was a Burmese python native to Thailand. These large snakes eat small mammals and birds, but are non venomous. Instead, the Burmese python wraps its body around its prey and squeezes. For the craft today we are going to make a paper chain snake inspired by the Burmese python and other snakes found in Thailand.
