Snail Cut and Paste Craft

Make a paper snail with this cut-and-paste printable. Choose the ready-colored pieces for a quick craft or let children decorate the outline version before assembling their animal.

Your printable

Two pages: one precolored template and one coloring version. Each page includes the pieces for one animal and a small colored example to guide assembly.

How to use this printable

1. Print the version you want on paper or lightweight cardstock.
2. Color the outline pieces before cutting, then cut around the dashed outside guides.
3. Arrange the pieces using the finished example as a guide. Overlap the joins and glue them together.
4. Let the craft dry flat. Add it to a paper pond scene or an animal-themed display.

Printing tips

Print in portrait orientation. Check the preview and use Fit to Page if an edge is clipped. Help younger children cut the small details.
