Egg carton caterpillars

October 14th, 2009

egg carton caterpillarsGoogly eyes are certainly one of our favorite craft supplies; we use them for everything! Seriously, if you stick a pair of googly eyes on anything it will look like a little creature of some sort. And pipe cleaner is another fun thing we use a lot — it’s easy to bend and form, and easy for the kids to use.

So, with two of our favorite supplies and some old egg cartons, we got busy making these little egg carton caterpillars (and bumble bees and spiders)!

This is another one of those simple projects that the kids can really take part in.  Here’s what you’ll need:

-egg cartons
-paint and paintbrushes
-pipe cleaner
-googly eyes
-and scissors, of course

Also fun to let the kids play with their ‘creepy crawlies’ when they’re finished and dry!
