Ingredients

Instructions

  • 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!
