Bottle Cap Caterpillar Craft

Gathering the recycling one day, our daughter pointed to a bunch of bottle caps that she had lined up in a row and said "look it’s a caterpillar"! The imagination of preschoolers is amazing to watch. We laughed and called her creation a “cap-er-pillar” and then got the idea to turn the caps into a craft. This caterpillar craft is simple to do and your kids will enjoy working with a different material. This cute little bug makes a great bug craft or spring craft too.

What you'll need: Bottle caps (we used 6) Green construction paper Scissors White glue Crayons Pipe cleaners Googly eyes How to make your Bottle Cap Caterpillar Craft: Cut a leaf shape out of the construction paper. Have your child color the bottle caps any colors they want. Our daughter is on a rainbow kick and went with a different color for each cap. Pour a puddle of glue on a scrap piece of paper and have your child dip each cap into the glue puddle and then stick the caps onto the leaf in a line. Add little googly eyes and a pipe cleaner smile to the first bottle cap. Cut small pieces of pipe cleaner to use as antennae and glue them to the first cap as well. Use a crayon to draw legs on the remaining caps. Please add a comment
