Sweet Egg Carton Caterpillars
These Sweet Egg Carton Caterpillars are an easy craft for children to make and a good way to recycle all of those egg cartons left over from Easter. Make sure you have enough dum dums to keep the kids from stealing the antenna.
Supplies
Egg Carton
Scillors
Green Paint
Paintbrush
Wiggle Eyes
Craft Glue
4 Dum Dum Lollipops
Instructions
Remove the top of the egg carton. Cut the bottom half of the egg carton in half lengthwise; these will be your caterpillars.
Paint the caterpillars green. The top part of the egg carton can be used as the dish for the paint! Allow to dry.
Apply two dots of craft glue to the front of one of the ends. Place your craft "eyes" on the glue and allow to dry.
Poke two holes in the top of one of the ends of the caterpillar. Then insert the stick of a Dum Dum in each hole. These will be the caterpillar's antennas.
