Striped Paper Snail Kid Craft – Letter S Craft

We found a snail shell when we are out on a walk. The shell inspired us to do this striped paper snail kid craft. This snail kid craft just needs a few supplies.

Snail kid crafts are great for the letter S alphabet theme and great to add to garden craft themes for the summertime.

Pair the craft with a cute book like Norman the Slug with the Silly Shell a great book about a slug who wants to be like a snail.

I have gathered some fun easy snail crafts.

Next, glue 2 of the strips with stripes end to end overlapping about a 1/4 in. Press for a couple of minutes. Then let dry. Next roll up the stripes with the stripes on the outside. Match the one in to the outside end in a loose roll. Glue both ends. Hold until it sticks, a couple of minutes.
