Craft Stick Caterpillar Supplies:

* Mini Popsicle Stick {affiliate link}
* Thick White Glue {like Darice Felt Glue – affiliate link}
* Red Craft Paint
* Green Craft Paint
* Paint Brushes
* Small Wiggle Eyes
* Tan Cardstock
* Scissors

Directions:

* First have children paint their wooden spoon completely red and ELEVEN mini popsicle sticks green. Repeat for each caterpillar you want to make. Set aside.
* Now grab your glue and newly painted pieces. Make a line of glue on the handle and place your mini popsicle sticks in a line {like a fence} on top, until the handle is completely covered.
* Finish off your Craft Stick Caterpillar craft by gluing on wiggle eyes and cardstock antennas to the back. Then carefully place in an undisturbed area to let it dry completely before displaying/playing with proudly!
