The book we chose for Poppins Book Nook Folktales theme was The Rainbow Serpent. We had a little trouble trying to find a book that fit the Folktale theme, so we first looked up what a folk tale was.
Folk Tale: noun
a tale or legend originating and traditional among a people or folk, especially one forming part of the oral tradition of the common people.
From the modelling clay snake, they went on to make rainbows with the modelling clay. They made a pale snake with a matching rainbow and then a brightly coloured snake and rainbow. You can find some more great activities at Australian Folktales.
I hope you enjoyed seeing our activities for this month and would love to see what you have been up to!

Very fun activities– I would love to see your photos BIG!!! The art looks so pretty. Love the dot art : )
This is so fun and creative! I love the dot paintings. Those are cute. I love having a theme for a month or a week to follow from a favorite book. I am going to need to do that with Little Bee! 🙂 Thanks for the inspiration! 🙂
Love the rainbow snakes.
This is such a great idea – using a book as craft/activity inspiration! I especially love those dot paintings!
I love the idea of having a book theme of the week or the month and relating crafts to that book! The dot painting of the Rainbow Snake is beautiful! It looks like it’s museum quality! I hope you framed it!
Love these fun activities! I’ve been wanting to start doing theme activities for some of our books we have for our kids. These are great ideas!
Like the rainbow snakes! I’m not crazy but think I could handle making them.
What a great idea! I will have to start doing this with my kids. I have never thought of using a book for craft ideas.
