Directions:
1. Cut 11 ovals out of your construction paper—6 brown and 5 green.
Each oval should be about 7" long.
2. Lay the ovals out in an AB pattern (brown, green, brown, green, etc.).
3. Use brad fasteners or glue to connect each oval to the next.
4. Cut out a tongue from red construction paper and glue
it to the front of the first oval.
5. Use markers or crayons to draw eyes on the first oval.
On the other ovals, write the numbers 1-10 in order.

• Encourage children to use the snake to practice
   counting from 1 to 10. For children who are
   ready for an extra challenge, write the even
   numbers from 2 to 20 on the back of the snake
   and have them practice counting by twos!
