Rocking Paper Snail Crafts for Kids

Hello kids! A snail moves at a very slow pace yet plays an important role in the ecosystem. It helps keep the balance in the ecosystem. Often seen in garden, backyards and moist areas they have a thick shell around their back and move around with this. This keeps them safe from predators. When they sense danger they quickly enclose themselves inside this shell.

So today let’s make a beautiful and colourful paper snail with basic at-home art and craft supplies.
