10 DIY and Craft Ideas Using Snake Coloring Pages

Once you’ve colored your snake masterpieces, these 10 fun ideas help bring them into crafts, decor, and learning activities:

1. Snake Species Poster or “Guidebook”

Arrange multiple colored pages of related species (e.g., all python species) on poster board. Add their names and fun facts to create a visual lesson about snake diversity.

2. DIY Animal Flashcards

Cut out colored snakes and glue them on index cards. On the reverse, write details like country of origin and venom level. Great for a reptile-themed scavenger hunt or quiz!

3. Create a Scale Pattern Collage

Cut shapes of individual scales from colored snake pages and glue them into a mosaic design for an abstract art piece.

4. Snake Puppet Show

Glue a colored snake onto a craft stick and wind it into a twisty shape like a snake. With multiple species, kids can create a reptile stand and tell stories!

5. Snake Tail Bookmarks

Cut long strips along the snake’s body and laminate. Punch a hole and add ribbon. Each bookmark becomes a mini reptile!

6. Snake Habitat Diorama

Use a shoebox to recreate forest, desert, or jungle scenes and place your colored snakes inside. Add paper plants, leaf litter, or sand for realism.

7. Snake vs. Snake Board Game

Turn multiple snake coloring pages into game pieces. Create a simple board with numbered spaces, roll dice, and have snakes “race” across terrain.

8. Seasonal Wreath

Use colored snake outlines as cutouts on floral foam or a grapevine wreath. Create a Halloween or jungle theme around the rim.

9. Snake Quilt Template

Color blocks of snakes with different patterns and “sew” them into a mock quilt on paper. Tape to a wall or folder for a colorful art quilt.

10. Snake Name Chart or Growth Tracker

Color one snake species per month. Label each with the child’s name or age. Hang it on a growth poster to track progress and favorite patterns.

Tips for Coloring Realistic Snake Patterns

Research photos of each snake species to mimic color patterns—e.g. coral snakes’ red-yellow-black bands, garter snakes’ stripes, python blotches.
Use colored pencils or thin markers to get fine detail on scales.
Add shading or metallic highlights to reflect light or create “glossy” skin effects.
For younger children, encourage bright, bold interpretations—rainbow boas are a fun inspiration!
Use background elements—leaves, rocks, or branches—to give context to each snake.
