We have a serious love of using paint markers! I love how they encourage creativity by adding final touches, squiggles, designs and patterns onto different crafts just like in our hot air balloon craft and colorful owls.

This painted paper snake craft for kids we are sharing today is a fabulous open ended craft where children can have fun designing their own patterns and creating a one-of-a-kind snake. Since the school year just wrapped up and kids will be looking for fun activities to keep them busy this summer, this snake craft couldn’t have come at a better time!

Go grab some paint markers and get ready for an afternoon full of fun with your kids!
