Whether you’re teaching in the classroom or at home, these hands-on ideas help preschool and kindergarten kids build letter recognition, fine motor skills, and creativity while exploring the world of reptiles and nature.
1. Read Snake and Reptile-Themed Books

Encourage your students to listen for words that begin with “S” and practice making the “ssss” sound as you read.
2. Learn Fun Snake Facts
Turn your Letter S Snake Craft into a mini science lesson!
Teach kids that snakes are reptiles, use their tongues to smell, and come in many different colors and patterns.
You can even measure a string the same length as a real snake to help children understand how long they can grow!
3. Decorate the Classroom or Alphabet Wall
Display your students’ Snake Crafts on your alphabet wall or bulletin board labeled “S is for Snake.”
Add green vines, leaves, or paper jungle animals to create a fun “Alphabet Jungle” display that makes your classroom come alive!

If you’re focusing on a Letter of the Week theme, this craft is a must-have!
Pair it with other S-themed ideas like S is for Sun, S is for Star, or S is for Sandwich.
