Our Rattlesnake Activity Kit is a perfect example of how we've made learning fun and hands-on! Kids make a rattlesnake that really rattles as they learn about these amazing creatures. Twist our rattlesnake-colored pipe cleaners into a rattlesnake head, attach a special vial filled with some popcorn kernels, apply some appropriate coloring and you have a rattling rattlesnake! We even include ribbon for a special snaky tongue.
