Mrs Snake on a Stick Craft
Mrs Snake is a mischievous character in the storybook Tales from the Bush. She sneaks and scares Mr Lizard, causing such a fright that she is no longer invited to the bush dance.
But sweet Cuddlepie heard Mrs Snake crying in the bush and went to investigate. Mrs Snake realised she was not well liked and had a crisis of her own which required bush friends to help. Cuddlepie told Mrs Snake she hadn’t been very nice lately but offered to help Mrs Snake’s situation.
In the end, Mrs Snake was invited back to the bush dance. The Bush Dance scene was the inspiration for this simple craft creating Mrs Snake on a stick.
