I love doing art projects with S&Z, but I'm not super creative. We do have a big bin of art supplies, though, including construction paper, tissue paper, pipe cleaners, stickers, paint, etc. There was no art class today due to school vacation week, so I was inspired to come up with an art project to do at home on the last day of a long holiday weekend. Ever since I decorated the kids' room with decals from "The Very Hungry Caterpillar", we draw a lot of caterpillars. Here's what I came up with for a fun project today.
I cut circles out of construction paper for the caterpillar bodies, I applied glue stick, and then the kids stuck them into their version of a caterpillar configuration.
They decorated the caterpillar's with both regular and "do-a-dot" markers.
We made antennae out of pipe cleaners which, btw, are no longer called pipe cleaners; they are now called "chenille stems" :-) Zoe asked me to draw the face onto her caterpillar's head, and then she drew a couple more faces that turned out pretty darn good!
Here are the finished products on the refrigerator.

Silas also decided the back of his project needed some jazzing up.
