Polka Dot Snail Craft Idea for Spring

This polka dot snail craft is particularly kid-friendly and customizable, making it great for classrooms, family crafting time, or rainy day projects!

Craft Supplies:

The best part about this project is how affordable and accessible it is. Gather these materials to get started (most can be found at a local craft store):

Directions:

Follow these simple steps to create your popsicle stick snail. The best part? You can customize it to fit your child’s imagination!

  • First things first – paint and/or color your jumbo popsicle sticks however you like. You will need one craft stick per snail.
  • Once done, set aside to let it dry completely.
  • Now grab your printed printable and pull out the coloring materials/coding labels.
  • Go ahead and decorate ONE of the shell designs from the print out. My best suggestion is to do the coding labels last.
  • When done decorating, trim it out.
  • To finish off the Polka Dot Snail – simply glue the cardstock piece in place on one end of the popsicle stick and add the wiggle eye.
  • Follow that up by cutting out and adding some antennas to finish off the design.
  • Congrats – YOU SNAILED IT! Now use your beautiful piece as a bookmark, as decor or for pretend play this spring season!
