Looking for a fun and simple paper craft for kids? This Easy Paper Snail Craft is the perfect activity for preschoolers and young children. With a free PDF template, itâs easy to cut out the shapes and assemble your own adorable snail using colored paper and cardstock.
What Youâll Need:
- Free PDF snail template (download and print)
- White printer paper
- Colored paper (pink or any color for the snailâs body, orange for the antennae)
- Green cardstock (for the leaf)
- Scissors
- Glue
- Black marker
- Pencil (for curling the snail’s body)
Instructions:
Print the Template
Start by printing the free template on white paper. It includes all the necessary parts: a long strip (for the snailâs body), a pair of eyes, a small rectangle (for tracing the antennae), and a leaf shape.
Cut Out the Pieces
Carefully cut out all the shapes from the printed template.
Trace and Cut from Colored Paper
Use the long strip as a pattern and trace it onto colored paper (such as pink). This will be the snailâs body.
Trace the small rectangle twice onto orange paper to create two antennae.
Trace the leaf shape onto green cardstock and cut it out.
Assemble the Snail
Glue the two orange antennae to the back, upper part of the snailâs body.
Glue the eyes to the tops of the antennae.
Use a black marker to draw a smiling mouth on the snail.
Create the Spiral Shell
Roll the paper strip into a loose spiral, starting at one end. A pencil works great to help curl the paper neatly and evenly.
Attach to the Leaf
Once your snail body is curled, glue the base of it to the green leaf so the snail looks like itâs resting there.
And that’s it! Your cute paper snail is ready. This craft is great for practicing fine motor skills, cutting, and gluing, and itâs perfect for spring or garden-themed lessons and decorations.
