Crawling Caterpillars
Create a colorful creeper with paper plates. Will it be a hairy woolly bear? Or a caterpillar that’s knobby, tufty, or horned?
1. Read or retell a story such as The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Look closely at the pictures. Find real caterpillars if you can.
2. On the backs of paper plates, use Crayola Construction Paper™ Crayons to draw your caterpillar. It can look real or imaginary. With Crayola School Glue, attach your plates to each other so the caterpillar looks like it’s crawling.
3. Glue pre-cut yarn to the plates for tufts, antennae, and feet. Air-dry your caterpillar.
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
String-Like Materials—Includes string, raffia, lacing, yarn, ribbon, and other similar material. Children 3 years and younger should not be given any string-like material that is longer than 12 inches. Close adult supervision is essential whenever children use string-like material. When crafts are to be worn around the necks of children 8 years and younger, attach the ends of the “string-like material” with clear adhesive tape, which allows easy release of the bond if the craft becomes entangled or caught on equipment. For children older than 8 years, the ends of the “string-like material” may be tied and knotted.
