Step-by-step instructions

Print out the form. This project works well with regular printer paper, however if you plan to use markers, we recommend using cardstock.

Have children color according to the pattern. Colored pens, whatever pens are fine!

Cut out all parts of the pattern. Take the snail’s house and cut it in a spiral shape (there is a dashed line to help guide your child when cutting).

Apply a small amount of glue behind the eye (at the bottom) and stick it onto the snail’s body.

Let the glue harden.

Take the rectangular strip of paper and fold it along all the lines.

Apply glue to the designated area and glue the ends together, forming a cube.

This cube will keep the snail’s house sturdy.

Stick the cube in the middle of the circle on the snail’s body.

This is how your snail should look at this step.

Apply a small amount of glue to the top of the spiral or to a small part of the circle on the snail’s body.

Stick the house inside the circle on the snail’s body.

All has been done! Your snail is done.
