Paper Plate Caterpillar Craft

Spring has sprung! Do you know what that means? It's time for another seasonal craft!

So, what craft is it today? A paper plate caterpillar! This project is classroom-friendly and so easy to create, yet we think it's one of the cutest we've done! Take a look!

Step 1: Use the scissors to cut half of the plate's rym away. This is the body of your caterpillar! Each plate makes two paper caterpillars.

Step 2: Next, decorate! Grab your favorite colored pencils, markers or crayons to brighten up your new crawling pal. Get extra wild and add stickers or crafting pom poms.

Step 3: Make sure the colored paper is handy because it's time to create the caterpillar heads. We freestyled this process, but you simply want to cut out a round head shape with two antennae on the top. Another option is to use pipe cleaners as the antennae!

Step 4: Give the faces some eyes by gluing on googly eyes or drawing a pair!

Step 5: Add a mouth to the face! Easy, right?

Step 6: Finally, attach the paper head to rest of the body by stapling it to the end of the paper plate rim.

Ta-da! The creation of your new spring time friend is complete! Now all that is left is to enjoy his/her company!
