Chinese New Year

Celebrate Chinese New Year (also known as Lunar New Year) with these fun craft ideas!

Year of the Snake Paper Chain

Download Activity Template
Celebrate Lunar New Year 2025 by creating a paper chain of this year’s zodiac animal!
  • Step 1Download and print the Snake Paper Chain template provided. We recommend printing on cover paper as it provides a great surface for decorating and constructing your Snake.
  • Step 2Decorate the template using your favourite craft materials. Allow to dry if needed.
  • Step 3Cut out the snake head, tail and tongue pieces from page 1 of the template. Adult supervision is recommended when using scissors. For the head and tail pieces, create a loop with the tabbed end. Glue the tab to the underside of each piece so the head and tip of the tail extend outwards. Glue the snake’s tongue to the underside of the head. Allow to dry.
  • Step 4Cut out the snake body pieces from pages 2 and 3 of the template. Start by threading a strip through the loop on the head piece. Bend the paper into a circle and secure with glue to form the first loop in the chain. Allow to dry.
  • Step 5Continue adding and joining loops together as you go to create the snake’s body. Use the last body piece to loop and secure the tail piece to the rest of the body. Allow to dry.
  • Step 6Your Year of the Snake Paper Chain is now ready to display for the Lunar New Year!
