The Very Hungry Caterpillar

2

If you're looking for some last minute DIY Book Week costume ideas try this timeless classic outfit for The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

Here’s what you’ll need:

• Green cardboard in two shades
• Purple pipe cleaners
• Yellow, green and red sheets of craft foam
• Black twine
• Scissors
• PVA glue

Here’s how to do it:

1. Cut two large dinner plate-sized circles from each shade of green cardboard. These circles will form the body.



2. Line up the circles in alternating colours and thread together with black twine.
3. Make two holes in the top circle and leave excess twine. To attach the body of the caterpillar, tie these together around the back of your child’s neck.



4. To make the caterpillar head, cut two green ovals and two slightly larger yellow ovals to form the eyes.
5. Glue these to a rectangular piece of red craft foam cut to about 15cm high and 30cm across. 
6. Attach two purple pipe cleaners to the top to form the antennae. 
7. Secure this onto your child using elastic.
