The Very Hungry Caterpillar: Marble Painting

Who doesn’t LOVE The Very Hungry Caterpillar?  Eric Carle’s book is a classic and one of my (many) favorites.  Here is a fun and easy craft to make your very own very hungry caterpillar!

You will need…
Shoe box
Piece of tape (to keep the box closed)
Green paint
Marbles
Yellow paper cut into a caterpillar shape *
Red marker or crayon

*I can’t draw to save my life but I managed to draw and cut out a somewhat decent caterpillar.  I just drew a series of connected ovals and cut it out. 

Place the paper caterpillar (there are in the picture but you only need one for the project), a blob of green paint, and a few marbles in the box.  If you are worried about a potential mess use a piece of tape to keep the box closed.


Shake…shake…shake!

(Ignore the crazy hair and red eyes....we were recovering from a meltdown)



Take the caterpillars out and let them dry.








Add an eye and mouth.

Come on...how cute is that? 

Happy Crafting!
