Begin by cutting 4 strips from green cardstock. We made a couple different caterpillars out of different shades of green.
You will also need to cut one red strip.
Bring the ends of one green strip together in a loop and staple to secure. Then, bring another green strip through the first loop and staple together. Repeat for all green strips.
Bring the red strip through the last green strip and staple to secure to complete the caterpillar paper chain.
Next, cut a simple V shape out of black cardstock.
Fold the bottom of the V shape and glue to the top of the red loop.
Add small googly eyes and use a pen to add a simple mouth.
Finally, print the leaf shape and cut from a different shade of green cardstock.
Add some simple leaf veins with a marker or metallic pen to complete this darling caterpillar paper chain craft!
