Summer Crafts for Kids: Egg Carton Caterpillar

Kids love to learn all year round, even in the summer! Teach them about insects and keep their imagination growing with this fun egg carton caterpillar.

What you’ll need:
• Egg Carton
• Scissors
• Green Paint
• Foam Paint Brush
• Craft Glue
• Craft “Eyes”
• Dum Dums

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 Dums in each hole. These will be the caterpillar’s antennas.
