A new fine motor challenge is the crafting of this garland. With advertising brochures, children can practice the rolling and ringing of paper. For this purpose, their paper stripe pulls over an edge of a ruler or a pen. After that, they stick two thin paper strips together diagonally at one end. If you hang many of these ringing strips with a little distance over a string, then a garland is made of recycled material. Have fun trying it out!

Snake garland (6 templates for garlands)
These snakes garlands are a great occupation for children. When painting, they can be creative in color or design their own patterns in the Blanco template. Colorfully painted, you first cut the snake as a circle before cutting it spirally along the line. That's not difficult, provided you cut on the line.
As a room decoration you attach a thread in the middle of the snake or you put it as a table decoration like an air snake on the table. The perfect carnival decoration!
Tip: If you paint the snakes in green tones, then they fit for a jungle party or a children's birthday party as well. Stay creative!

Make snake (made from cardboard roll)
From cardboard rolls (clorolls or kitchen rolls) these colorful carnival snakes are created in no time. For this you paint the cardboard roll first with crayons, felt pens or water colours colorfully. As soon as the color is dried, you begin to cut the roll around in narrow stripes. This creates a long slanting spiral, which then gently pulls it apart. With shackle eyes and a tongue made of paper, the snake is already finished.
Tip: Several colored snakes are suitable as garlands for a carnival section or a jungle party. Have fun!
