Chinese New Year is approaching fast and we are ready to welcome the year of the Snake. Let’s make a snake out of egg cartons today.

Just cut the egg cartons into individual cups and paint green.
Paste googly eyes and tongue (cut out of felt or angpow wrapper).
Paste dots on the body.
Punch a hole and tie a string through the egg carton cups.
The snake is done!
Happy Chinese New Year to all! π
