Our cute snakes will quickly slither into your home. With wooden beads and pompoms the snakes are easy to make. Children can string the beads according to their own imagination and create their very own snake. Not only only promotes fine motor skills, imagination, concentration and coordination, but is also great fun!
Stringing wooden beads is a playful and educational activity that promotes the development and encouragement of various important skills in young children:
Stringing requires precise hand movements that promote fine motor skills. This contributes to the development of dexterity and hand-eye coordination, which are later necessary for writing, playing and other tasks.
When stringing, children need to practice concentration and patience in order to string the beads or objects. Children will need these skills later on to succeed in school and learn other complex skills later in life.
Children can let their imaginations run wild when stringing by combining different colors, shapes and patterns.
Twist the chenille wire twist the thread at one end so that no pearl can slip down. Thread beads onto the chenille wire as desired. Apply some handicraft glue glue to the end and stick it into a large pompom. Also apply glue to wobbly eyes and stick it to the large pompom. Cut a narrow strip from the felt for the tongue. In our example, it is 4 mm wide and between 3-5 cm long.
To glue the tongue in place, spread the fibers of the pompoms slightly apart. Add some handicraft glue and press the felt strip into it. Then fold the fibers together again.
