Make a Caterpillar from Egg Carton

This is a simple craft for kindergarten children using recycle material. You can use either plastic egg carton or paper pulp egg carton. Plastic egg carton has a nice round shape to it but paper pulp egg carton is easier to color paint.

You will be needing:
1. Egg carton of your choice
2. Scissor and some strong glue to attach the googly eyes.
3. Googly eyes 
4. Straw (for the caterpillar tentacles)
5. Poster paint (or any type of paint of your choice)


Directions:

Step 1: Prepare the egg carton. Cut around the edges of the round shape. There might be a spikes inside the egg carton. Cut that out. You can train your child to do this but with supervision. 

Step 2: Time for your child to have fun! Paint the egg carton.

Step 3: Let dry overnight.

Step 4: Using strong glue, attach googly eyes. Curl at the end of the straw using glue. Paint and let dry. Make a slit on top of the egg carton and insert the tentacles. 

Done! Enjoy!
