The Very Hungry Caterpillar threading activity 🐛🌱🍃🍂

‍

I absolutely love threading! This activity is brilliant for the development of fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.

‍

You will need:

Cardboard (I cut a piece off a box)

Green paint

Pipe cleaners (red and green)

String or rope

Scissor

Pencil

Paintbrush

Punch

Step 1: Draw a leaf on your cardboard box using your pencil.

Step 2: Carefully cut out your leaf.

Step 3: Paint your leaf with green paint. Leave your leaf to dry.

Step 4: While your leaf is drying let's make your Very Hungry Caterpillar.

‍

How to make your Caterpillar: Take your piece of string or rope and carefully wrap your pipe cleaners around it. Continue to wrap until you have a big enough Caterpillar.

‍

Step 5: Now that your leaf is dry start punching holes all around the edges of your leaf.

Step 6: Now you can start threading

I hope you enjoy threading as much as I do.
