Stained Glass Spring Snails

Materials:

Paper Plates
Glue
Tissue paper
Scissors
Green Construction/Green Cardstock Paper
Googley Eyes
Pipe Cleaners
*Optional: Hot glue gun (holds pipe cleaners on better)

Pick your colors of tissue paper, I used yellow, blue and pink because when laid over eachother they also produced green and purple.

Fold up tissue paper and cut the folds to make strips, cut the strips into squares.

Cover the plate with glue, stick on the tissue paper, let dry. This is the snail's shell.

While the snail's shell dries draw out the shape of the body on a piece of construction/cardstock paper. I cut out all of them at once where the majority of our children have no yet mastered scissors.

Glue the shell to the body, add an eye, antenna and smile :)

Voila!
