Give the children paper towel tubes to paint in a variety of colors. When dry, cut apart in several pieces. Twist four to five pipe cleaners together to create one long strand. Be sure to tuck in sharp ends. Hook the long pipe cleaner strand on one piece of the tube at the bottom to keep other tubes from falling off. Have the children thread the tubes onto the pipe cleaners to create a long snake. When done, play music and have the children drag their snakes around.
