Caterpillar

This is a great recycling craft! You use your old egg cartons. Just make sure if you are using the styrofoam ones that you use permanent markers or crayons because washable markers and paint will come off!

First I gathered everything we needed for the craft- the egg carton (you can cut them to smaller sizes if you would like, but I just had the two kids, so they each got a 6 piece caterpillar!), paint, pipe cleaners, glue, and googly eyes. (the glue and googly eyes are not in the picture!)


The kids had a great time finger painting the egg carton!



After they were done painting them, we glued on the eyes, and put the pipe cleaners in! I cut two small holes on the top of the caterpillars head, then once they put the pipe cleaner in, we bent them back a bit (you could tape them too).


Then we let them dry! They could take awhile depending on how much paint the kids put on them!
