Easter Egg Caterpillar
Supplies Needed:
- 9 plastic Easter eggs per caterpillar
- Pipe cleaners, 2 per caterpillar
- Wiggle eyes
- Glue for plastic
- Hot glue gun
** Note: For this project, you need to buy plastic eggs that have two holes in each end.
Have each child pick three eggs of three different colors. Break the eggs apart so that you now have eighteen separate pieces.
Twist the two pipe cleaners together at one end. The tail is made by threading a small half of an egg onto the pipe cleaners. Choose a large half of a different color egg and snap together.
The rest of the caterpillar is made by stacking egg halves all in the same direction as your first small egg half onto the pipe cleaners, making a pattern with your colors. It does not matter the order of large and small.
When you get to the end of your eggs, trim the end of the pipe cleaners and then curl with a pencil to make the antennae.
Glue on wiggle eyes with hot glue gun. Glue the whole egg at the tail end closed with plastic glue.
