Today we have a game idea for indoors and outdoors, with only a few materials, but have a lot of fun.
We let small snails crawl together for the bet, which we conjure up together from materials, which we usually have at home. The little ones and also the big ones will be amazed how much fun and variety is in the materials. All you need are cardboard rolls, newspaper and a woolen thread.
And then it says: On your places, snails go!
Have fun with it!

Get your materials ready first.
Then you press a toilet paper roll flat on the table and cut about 1cm from the wheel in a cut of about 2cm.
Next, you press the roll so flat that the cut can be seen on the top.
Now you need a double-edged newspaper.
Folds this newspaper sheet about 5cm wide upwards. Turns it over again and strokes it smoothly. This creates a 5cm wide newspaper strip.
That doesn't have to be quite neat and straight.
Next, this folded newspaper strip is rolled up like a snail's house.
Fold a tip at the end of the newspaper strip. This looks a bit like a paper flyer. This way the end can be threaded through the slot of the cardboard roll better afterwards.
So that the rolled snail house doesn't roll up again later, you can stick the snail house a bit. Add about 5cm in front of paper end glue on the newspaper roll and stick the snail house so tight.
Now you need the cut-in toilet paper roll again. Push the pointed remaining piece from the snail roll through the slit. This will be the rear part of the snail.
If you pushed the piece for the back through the slit, put some glue on the toilet paper roll and squeeze the snail's house on it.
Maybe you'll have to hold on to the snail house a little bit until the glue has dried up a little bit.
Now you make two small cuts on the "head side" of the toilet paper roll. The cuts should be about 1cm long.
Next you need a 10cm long strip of newspaper. From this the feelers arise.
We took a blue piece of paper to make you see it better.
You hold this strip at the ends and easily turn one end in as if you opened the bottle.
The now slightly turned paper is stuck to her head by the cuts on the snail's head. Check out the picture.
Now the snail is ready!
But for a snail race it goes even further. It still lacks the thread.
Stench on the bottom of the snail with scissors a small hole in the cardboard roll. The children can be helped by an adult because there is a risk of injury.
Next you put the wool thread through the hole and knot it.
You tie the other end of the woolen thread to the second toilet paper roll, a branch or something similar.
Now the snail is ready for her first race. To do this, unwrap the wool from the roll and put the snail away from you on the ground. By turning the roll with your hands, you wrap the wool again and the snail comes to meet you.
For a real race and even more fun, it's best to make several snails. Then you can run the snails for the bet with your friends. Get ready for the places....!
Have fun in crafts and snail racing!
Stay creative!
