Egg Carton Caterpillar
Materials:
cardboard egg carton
scissors
green tempra paint
paint brush
pipe cleaner (chenille)
sharp pencil
wiggly eyes, 2 cheerios or 2 fruit loops
glue
Instructions:
cut one strip of cups (6 cups) from the egg carton -- adults can do this before craft time.
paint the cups green and let dry
using a sharp pencil, poke two holes in the top of the first cup -- again, adults should do this step.
from inside the cup, poke both ends of the pipe cleaner through the pencil holes (one end through each hole)
wrap the ends of the pipe cleaner around the pencil to make it curly
glue the wiggly eyes onto the head (you could substitute 2 cheerios or 2 fruit loops)
(Their description was so much beter than mine!)
I have made this before with Dominic. I cut 4" peices and made legs for his though. That worked reallygood with foam egg cartons.
If you have any ideas please let me know. We do crafts all the time!
