THE SIDEWINDING SNAKE

The SIDEWINDING SNAKE is based on the the appearance of rattle snakes. Children will roll the snake's head back and give the wheels torque and when released the snake head will begin in motion. The head of the snake will be made of plastic while the remainder of the body's contents would be rubber. The rubber would have a scaley appearance to enhance the effect. When in movement, the body of the snake would start to move in an S-shaped motion. The jaw of the snake will also begin to chatter when the snake is in motion because a gear would set off the mouth when the wheels begin to move. This toy is intended for young boys of ages ranging from 5 to 10. Children will be more aware of snakes from interacting with this toy and have fun scaring their little sisters with it. The cost of construction would be fairly cheap and would cost about 10 dollars in the toy stores.
