Hello kids! A snail moves at a very slow pace yet plays an important role in the ecosystem. It helps keep the balance in the ecosystem. Often seen in garden, backyards and moist areas they have a thick shell around their back and move around with this. This keeps them safe from predators. When they sense danger they quickly enclose themselves inside this shell.

How to Make Paper Rocking Snail Step by Step

- Next, we need colourful circles of green, blue, orange and yellow in ascending order.
- Start with green in 4cms, followed by other colours mentioned above in 6cms, 8cms and 10cms.
- Stick them one above the other starting with yellow first till green.
