Toddler Tuesday # 7 – Easy Caterpillar Craft

It’s a beautiful day here in Michigan. We are finally getting some spring like weather. I am so excited to be able to relax outside with the girls. When the sun is shinning I am so much happier and productive; not that I am aloud to do anything these days. 🙂 But it still feels good!

Sophia checking out the weather and we decided it wasn’t warm enough to go out without a sweatshirt and pants. It might almost be May, but there is definitely still a little chill in the air.

Toddler Tuesday – Easy Caterpillar Craft

These days I am all about easy, but I also still want to do fun things with my girls. This is seriously one of the easiest crafts you can do and both my girls loved it.

You simply take an egg carton and cut out the holders into two strips. Each egg carton makes two caterpillars. Then you decorate them any way you want. We used pipe cleaners for their antennas and  used markers to make eyes and anything else the girls wanted to put on their caterpillar. That’s it!!

Sophia decided she wanted her caterpillar to become a beautiful butterfly. Later, today we are going to work on making some colorful wings. 🙂
