Paper chain Caterpillar craft

‍

Another lovely activity inspired by the book The Very hungry Caterpillar. This craft activity is fun and really easy to do.

‍

You will need:

Red and green paper

Small piece of white paper

Scissors

Ruler

Pencil

Glue

Marker

Sellotape (A stapler can be used to join links however I thought it may be safer to use tape)

Step 1: Using your ruler and pencil draw some strips on your green paper for your Caterpillars body (as many as you decide). Now draw 1 red strip for your Caterpillars head.

Step 2: Cut the strips using your scissor.

Step 3: Fold 1 piece of the green paper to make your first link of the chain fasten with Sellotape.

Step 4: Place another strip into the link you already have and fold to fasten. You should now have 2 links joined. Continue to join the green links until you are happy with the length of the Caterpillars body.

Step 5: Now take your red strip and join it to your first link. Your Caterpillar now has a head.

Step 6: Take your small piece of white paper and draw 2 small feelers on it. Colour in with your marker.

Step 7: Cut out your feelers and glue onto your Caterpillars head.

Step 8: Finally draw on and mouth and eyes for your Caterpillar.

I hope you will have as much fun as I did.
