Kid Craft: Clothespin Caterpillars
How to make Clothespin Caterpillars: a super easy and fun kid craft!
Clothespin Caterpillar Craft
My daughter and I did this little craft using clothespins and pom-poms to make clothespin caterpillars last week. Aren’t they adorable?
And yes, the craft is as easy as it looks. All we used was Elmer’s Glue, clothespins, pom poms, and googly eyes.
I pretty much just set her loose on the craft, she was able to squeeze the glue on the clothespins herself, but you may need to do it for a younger child. Then she added the pom-poms. The googly eyes were kind of small, so I added those for her once her glue dried.
She loves to play with the pom-poms. She calls them her babies (and I have been finding them everywhere…)
Have fun!
Don't miss any more posts!

these are so cute I have to make some for my son. So simple but adorable
We made these in class on Monday after reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Then we pinned it to a toilet paper roll and wrapped yarn around it for a chrysalis on Wednesday. The students colored some coffee filters for the butterfly wings, and I'll add them to the pins this coming Monday. They'll be so excited to see the butterflies!
Those are super adorable! THey remind me of a fun Sunday School or VBS craft from my childhood. Thanks for sharing at Handmade Tuesdays!
