Pasos a seguir

Paint motifs in a paper with a sponge dipped in paint. Cut out the paper in 4 stripes of the same size. Put the stripes of the same colour together in pairs. Staple the two stripes forming an angle, as in the photo.

Fold one stripe over the other to “plait” the catepillar’s body. Hold the body stapling both ends.

Draw and cut out two big circles in a white paper to make the catepillar’s eyes.

Draw the eyes and glue them to the caterpillar’s body. Finish drawing the head.

Cut two pieces of pipe cleaner and glue them tothe top of the head to make the antennas.
