My boy, aka Mr Happy, went to a birthday party last weekend – an Indiana Jones Party. Very Cool!! As part of the party games they made necktie snakes. Perfect boy craft: quick, easy, not too messy, and relatively cheap to boot.
Mummy C had bought a handful of old neck ties from an op shop for a couple of dollars and collected together the rest of the bits and pieces before the party. The boys had a ball stuffing and decorating their snakes!
What You Need:
- necktie
- two eyes
- felt for the tongue
- cushion filling
- craft glue
What To Do:
- Stuff the necktie with filling – our boys didn’t fill the whole ties (It was too tricky and they kind of lost interest!) A pencil or a ruler can help get the filling in.
- Glue eyes and tongue onto the “head” – my boy chose a big eye and a little eye (?!)
- Tie knots in the left over end of the tie – think rattle snake!
- Optional: you could stitch the opening closed
A few more ideas
(in case you’re planning an Indiana Jones Party)
- The cake included Lego figures from the Indiana Jones Lego
- The party bags included skulls, snakes and Lego figures
- There was some Indiana Jones Lego colouring-in pages
And when you want everybody to leave you just roll a giant boulder at them!
Hmmm… Great idea! Perhaps you can have an Indiana Jones Lego party for your boys one day, Favourite Uncle!

Clever Mummy C!
She is clever, isn’t she?!
