What you need:
- Plastic easter eggs
- Pipe cleaners
- Glue
- Scissors
- Decoration ideas: Googly eyes, stickers, pom poms, markers
- For the bug we left the plastic egg intact (you could glue it shut if you want) and glued on antennae, legs, a heart sticker for wings, and googly eyes
- To make curly antennae: Hold a pipe cleaner against a pencil with a finger or tape, wind the pipe cleaner around the pencil, then slide it off. Cut it into smaller pieces if desired.
- For the caterpillar: We glued three egg halves together (you can mix and match colors, or use all of the same color,) glued on pipe cleaners for legs and antennae, and pom poms.
- We happened to have stickers of face parts, but you can use googly eyes, or draw on facial features with markers.
- Note: I have a hard time finding a glue that really adheres, so I like to use a glue gun. The kids can still help decorate with stickers and markers.
