Make your own caterpillar craft, quick and simple:
You will need:
- Paper
- Scissors
- Glue
- Yarn
- Buttons
- Crayons or markers
How to make it:
- Cut at least 6 circles of the same size

Extra fun: create a pattern using the caterpillar circles. Count the circles or match the colors. Talk about caterpillars and butterflies. Read the Book, The very Hungry Caterpillar.
