Snake tinkering with splash peas
Use natural materials for crafting, it's not obvious, but it is possible! For example, split peas, they are funny green hemispheres that you can stick to different cardboard shapes! We have chosen to craft a snake with it, but all kinds of other animals and shapes are also possible. You could also combine it with corn grains, lentils, bird seeds, rice, pasta and all kinds of other dry seeds etc. So it's just an example, we assume that you can make a much more fun work of art with it!
It may look like a gazebo, and that might be a little bit. You have to have a little patience and you can't just throw the splits on it. One by one, they're stuck on here, flat side down. When you sprinkle the peas next to your workpiece, pick up a pea with one wet finger and put it directly into the glue. Your finger acts as a stick as it were. A good exercise for fine motor skills! For the very small children, draw a smaller example, otherwise it may take too long. This snake is also a nice collaborative project: one starts at the head and the other at the tail, so you work towards each other!
Required: split peas, piece of cardboard (e.g. from cereal box), marker, glue, scissors and colors, e.g. green Crayola wax crayons
