Foam Caterpillar
- Total Time Needed:
- 1-2 Hours
Here's a critter you'll actually enjoy seeing in your garden or planter. Our cheerful, cheeky caterpillar is constructed out of -- surprise! -- foam practice golf balls, available at major retailers.
- Materials
-
- 3 foam practice golf balls
- Serrated knife
- Colored craft foam
- 18-gauge wire
- 12-inch wooden skewer
- Permanent marker
- Instructions
-
-
Slice 2 balls into thirds with a serrated knife (a parent's job). -
Cut about a dozen colored craft foam circles (for perfect circles, trace a cut ball). -
For the antennae, clip two 2- to 3-inch pieces of 18-gauge wire and curl the ends.
-
Draw a face on a third ball with a permanent marker, let the ink dry for 15 minutes, and insert the antennae.
-
To assemble your bug, poke the craft foam circles and ball pieces in an alternating pattern on a 12-inch wooden skewer. Then top off your skewer with the ball and find a leafy home for your new friend.
