What to Do:

Cut paper tubes so they measure approximately six inch in length.

Instruct children to:

- Decorate the craft stick with pom-poms and wiggle eyes to create a caterpillar.

- Paint cardboard tube with glue so the entire outside surface is covered.

- Cover outside of tube with stretched out pieces poly fiberfill.
