This caterpillar is such an easy project with just a clothes pin googly eyes, white glue or hot glue gun (for heavens sake choose the hot glue-for everyone’s sanity) and pom poms.
This clothes peg caterpillar craft is such a cute little project. It reminds me of a set of little pom-pom fridge magnets my grand parents had on their fridge. Their names were Henry and Henrietta. They were just as simple, pom poms and googly eyes and a fridge magnet glued on to the back.
You will need small pom poms and a big one for his head. Five or so small pom poms for his body and nose, googly eyes and glue.
It turns out that gluing pom poms takes a lot of glue and they are still not on tight. Its a frustrating project. So if you are working on this with a toddler when they have lost interest move it aside and at nap time hot glue the pieces on firmly. If you glued magnets to the clothes pin you’d have a cute fridge magnet.
I think he looks very smart! He’s a clothes pin so he could be holding up artwork that is trying from a clothes line.
He kind of reminds me of the very hungry caterpillar book.
