Making this Paper Caterpillar is as simple as making a paper chain. Add legs and googly eyes to decorate your spring caterpillar.

Things you’ll need:
Colorful paper
Googly eyes
Craft glue
Pipe cleaners
Scissors
Tape
Markers (to decorate)

Things to do:
1. Cut your colorful paper into strips. It’s easiest if the strips are no thicker than 3”.
2. Take your first strip and loop it into a circle. Tape to hold it in place.
3. Take your second paper strip and string it through your first paper loop.
4. Make a second loop with your second piece of paper wrapped around your first paper loop and tape in place. This is the start of your paper chain!
5. Continue making your chain by slipping a strip of paper through the last loop you made and taping it into a new link. Stop when your chain is as long as you want it to be.
6. To add a face, draw facial features and add googly eyes to one end of your paper chain.
7. Add antennas by taping a pipe cleaner to the inside of your caterpillar’s face. Curl the ends of the pipe cleaner or create your own design.
8. To add legs, cut a pipe cleaner in half and bend the half into a V” shape.
9. Tape the V” shaped pipe cleaner and tape it to the inside of one of your chain links.
10. Bend the ends of your pipe cleaner for feet.
11. Decorate your body with markers, stickers, glitter, or other crafting items!
