Caterpillar to Butterfly

Supplies:

• Coffee Filter
• Markers, paints, or something to color coffee filter
• Clothespin
• Pom-pom balls
• Pipe cleaner 
• Wiggly eyes
• Scissors
• Glue

Activity:

1. Color the coffee filter. Set aside to dry.
2. Glue some pom-pom balls to a clothes pin. Three works well--that way you can open and close the clothes pin easily.
3. Glue on wiggly eyes.
4. Glue on pipe cleaner for antennae.
5. You can then take the caterpillar and scrunch up the filter in the clothes pin to make a butterfly! This is a great supplement to a caterpillar theme unit!

 Kaitlyn made this at preschool last month and it has been one of her favorite projects by far.
