Cut strips of Construction paper (we cut ours 2″ by 8″…which made it nice and tight). Watch as your son lays them out to make railroad tracks and uses the glue stick as a train. Have child swipe the glue stick on one end of the strip, and make a loop. \u00c2\u00a0<\/span>Next, swipe the glue stick on the next strip and before making a loop thread it through the first loop and then close the loop! Repeat several times with your strips until you reach your desired caterpillar’s length. After you have made your Caterpillar body, cut two small strips of construction paper for the antenna.\u00c2\u00a0 <\/span>Curl them around the end of a pencil to get them nice and curvy. And lastly, glue your antenna to the top of your caterpillar’s head! If you haven’t already, draw a face on the little guy (or gal)!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
