Summer Boredom Buster {Toilet Paper Roll Caterpillar}

We've found a ton of caterpillars in our yard lately, which made me think of this little craft that we did a while back.  Click here for directions.

Paper Towel Roll Activities to Pair with Our Favorite Books

These are some of my favorite toilet paper roll activities that pair with some of our favorite books.  Enjoy!

Toilet Paper Roll Elmer the Elephant

Paper Towel Roll Caterpillar

Caterpillar Supply List: 1 paper towel roll, scissors, paint, stapler, google eyes, pipe cleaner

Start by cutting the paper towel roll into 6 or 7 same sized pieces.  Staple the pieces together to create your caterpillar.

Paint your caterpillar.  Cole wanted his to be green and blue.

Use glitter paint to decorate your picture.  Add google eyes and pipe cleaner as an antenna.

Book Suggestion: Very Hungry Caterpillar is a great story that follows a little caterpillar as he eats his way through some healthy snacks and a few unhealthy ones.  We love this book and Cole has loved it since he was little.  If you haven't read this old favorite recently I would recommend picking up a copy at your library or bookstore.
