My son made these Letter Ss crafts in his preschool class. I love that they made their snakes on tiny paper plates instead of the regular-sized ones like our sponge painted snake & sequin snake we made a few years ago. The kids glued little squares on them & googly eyes. The teacher used a hole punch on the mouth and tail areas. The kids strung through a pink pipe cleaner to create a tongue (twist at the ends) and a black one with a bell attached to it to create the tail.
They practiced writing upper and lowercase Ss and made a stop sign they could hold. If you can’t find a stop sign to print, you could make a stencil of an octagon shape for the kids to trace. Have them glue it to a craft stick. This is perfect for creating fun games with – the possibilities are endless!
They also made a seal craft that they could hold in their hand like a puppet. All you need is a paper plate, glue, scissors, a printout of a seal, and markers to color it with.
