Snake sounds for kids
SaysHiss
What sound does a snake make?
A snake hisses: ssss! Snakes push air out hard to make a hiss that means “back off”. Snakes have no outside ears and feel vibrations through the ground instead. A rattlesnake doesn’t use its voice at all: it shakes hollow rings at the end of its tail.
Try it together
Hiss a long “sssss” on one breath and see who can make their snake the longest.
One animal, drawn three ways
Every card in Kidster comes in three styles. Some children love the cartoon, others recognise the real animal sooner. A parent picks the style in the Parent Zone, and the sound stays the same.
- Cartoon

- Minimal

- Realistic

The same animal in eleven languages
Animals sound different depending on where you grow up. Kidster speaks every one of these languages, so a child hears the word and the sound in the language of home.
