Egg carton caterpillars

This is a classic preschool craft, that has been around for many years, and is 

a kids favorite!It is easy to prep and fun for the kids! Our kids at Homespun 

love painting! They had a great time painting their egg carton caterpillars. 

I started out by cutting the egg cartons in half. I poked a hole

in the top and added pipe cleaner antennas. We covered the art table 

with newspaper so the kids would be free to turn the caterpillars on

 their side to paint with out worrying about paint everywhere. After

they had dried the kids added eyes. We had quite a colorful

collections of caterpillars!
