1. Eat a dozen eggs and save the egg carton.
2. Cut the egg carton in half down the middle, to form The Very Hungry Caterpillar's "body".
3. Turn the egg carton upside down and paint the first five "lumps" a dark green color.
4. Allow the paint to completely dry and poke two holes through the red "head" where the antennae will soon fit through. Trim the edges of the carton around the head and tail to make them smooth looking.
5. Take the purple pipe cleaner and poke either end up through the holes in the "head".
6. Cut two small oval shapes in the yellow paper and paint two green spots in the center of each, to form The Very Hungry Caterpillar's "eyes".
7. Also draw on a mouth and/or a nose. Now your own Very Hungry Caterpillar is ready to eat lots of plums, apples, strawberries, oranges and all the rest. Have fun and maybe make some more?
