Are you excited to meet The Very Hungry Caterpillar? Spend a warm, sunny Sunday morning creating your very own fuzzy friends!
Watch out…they’re very hungry! 🍎🍐🍇🍓🍊
Follow the steps to create recyclable crafts…
Let’s get started!
What you’ll need:
- 1 paper plate
- A pair of scissors
- A glue stick
- A choice of coloured pens
Step 1.
Use the scissors to cut the paper plate in half to leave you with two semi-circle pieces.
Step 2.
Using the scissors, cut out the flat part of the plate, leaving you with the ribbed outer edges of the plate.
Step 3.
Using the flat part of the plate that you previously cut out, draw two bigger circles, 4 small circles and 4 small rectangles. Then use the scissors to cut all the pieces out.
Step 4.
Pick a range of different coloured pens and colour in parts of the plate making sure to leave gaps to fill in with the other colours you have chosen. Be creative and have fun!
Step 5.
Use the glue stick to stick the small circles onto the end of each rectangle.
Step 6.
Next, use the glue stick to stick two rectangles onto the top of the big circles to create the ears.
Step 7.
Choose one of two coloured pens to colour in the caterpillar face’s. Then use the black pen to add two eyes and a mouth to each face.
Step 8.
Finally, stick the caterpillar’s face onto the end of the caterpillar’s body. Now you have two very hungry friends!
How to take care of your caterpillar:
– Surround them with plants!
– Make sure they have plenty to eat such as:
- One apple, two pears, three plums, four strawberries, five oranges, one piece of chocolate cake, one ice cream cone, one pickle, a slice of cheese, one slice of salami, one lollipop, one piece of cherry pie, one sausage, one cupcake and lastly, one slice of watermelon.
– Most importantly…have fun!
