This past summer, I had a live animal presentation planned for my library that got cancelled at the last moment. Since we knew many people would be coming for the event, I was asked to put out a craft table to give those who showed up something to do. With less than one hour to plan, I looked at our craft supplies and decided to create a paper plate snake craft activity. I relied heavily on the MomBrite website (at https://www.mombrite.com/paper-plate-snake-craft/) to write the craft directions. I put out the supplies, the branch staff quickly made a few examples, and then I left the table out for the rest of the day. The intention was to treat this as a passive table where children walk up and help themselves to the intended craft.
Supplies:
-
Paper plates
- Googly eyes and eye stickers
-
Coloring pens
-
Bingo dabber pens
-
Small pieces of scrap construction paper (for the tongue)
- White glue and scissors
Everyone
was happy with the results of this craft table.
Families who showed up expecting a program still had something to
do. The activity was not a strain on the
staff. Plus, there were some adorable
snakes created!
