Cardboard egg cartons work best, but Styrofoam will work too. \u00c2\u00a0If you are working with a cardboard egg carton, invite your child to use markers to color his caterpillar. (The marker won&#8217;t stick to Styrofoam.)\u00c2\u00a0Cut the felt and tissue paper into smaller pieces (watch carefully to make sure your child does not put the pieces into his mouth). Put drops of glue on the caterpillar and then encourage your child to give the caterpillar spots with felt and tissue paper.\u00c2\u00a0Poke small holes on top of the caterpillar&#8217;s head and use pipe cleaners to make antennae. Give your caterpillar eyes too! \u00c2\u00a0Finish by asking your child to name his caterpillar creation! You can also read Eric Carle&#8217;s classic book <em>The Very Hungry Caterpillar<\/em> with your child. How is your child&#8217;s caterpillar similar to the caterpillar in the story? How is it different?<\/span><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: &quot;Trebuchet MS&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;\">\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2\u00c2\u00a0develops fine-motor skills<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Inspire your toddler\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s creativity with this clever creature.\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00a0 \u00e2\u20ac\u00a2\u00c2\u00a0egg carton \u00e2\u20ac\u00a2\u00c2\u00a0scissors \u00e2\u20ac\u00a2\u00c2\u00a0pipe cleaners \u00e2\u20ac\u00a2\u00c2\u00a0glue \u00e2\u20ac\u00a2\u00c2\u00a0felt \u00e2\u20ac\u00a2\u00c2\u00a0tissue paper \u00e2\u20ac\u00a2\u00c2\u00a0markers Cut an egg carton in half lengthwise, so you have a &#8220;caterpillar&#8221; that is six egg-lengths long.
