Display
Make your paint area and snake stampers interesting by displaying them in a ‘natural habitat. 

Once the Children are sure they would like to take part, use sheets of white or green paper and show how their chosen snake can slither, glide and mark make around their piece of paper.

For the table display we used:

 A plain canvas covered in metallic wrapping paper as the base.
 2 x long brown plastic ornamental grass stalks - Available from many florist and miscellaneous stores.
 A shredded green serviette or tissue paper
 A shallow tray and paints
 Optional – PVA glue to stick on the green paper strips
 Paper for the Children to paint on
 Selection of pre made Snake stampers.

Display the Snake stampers in a way to interest everyone in the setting and your home ..

If you take slither snakes into your setting and would like to publish a finished photo of the play please get in touch - silky@silkysteps.com xx
