Waiting is never easy for your little one, and counting days until an exciting event is hardly ever bearable. Marking days away on a calendar is a good idea to keep track of time, but how about making the wait a little more fun? This super easy paper craft idea will make your week. Meet Vacation Countdown Caterpillar!
Instructions:
- Trim a few sheets of colorful double-sided cardstock into strips.
- Staple or glue the edges together as you help your kids form the chain.
- Accent the caterpillar with cute pom-pom feet, googly eyes, and a heart-shape felt-sticker mouth.
- Finish this cute little guy by punching two small holes in the head and threading a short chenille stem through each to create curly antennae.
Cute craft. I used to make those chains all the time for the Christmas tree. This is a great new use for them and easy, too!
Thanks, Kelly! I used to make those kinds of chains for Christmas, too, so I liked the new application of the old skill:)
