Caterpillar Pom Pom Craft – Spring Craft Ideas

Spring is the best time of year to make some insect crafts, if it’s too rainy to go outside. This caterpillar pom pom craft is a fun and exciting project that kids will love to do.

We’ve been really into insect crafts lately, especially caterpillars, and we thought this one would be pretty fun too.

This craft can be used as part of a project to demonstrate the life cycle of a butterfly!

You could also make a butterfly out of paper and pom poms and another leaf with a bunch of pom poms as the egg. Chrysalis will require a bit of imagination though – but pom poms wrapped in tissue paper can work well.

And that’s it, you’ve completed the life cycle of a butterfly. This would be a fun project to do in class or at home.

But let’s get back to those tiny creatures on the leaf, shall we?

Caterpillar Pom Pom Craft

Pom poms are a great craft material (also great for fine motor skills), they can be a very inexpensive material, you just have to find the right place to buy them. For example, our local stores sell packs of 50-100 pom poms for the same price as the multi-colored pack of 2000 pom poms we bought online. It’s worth doing some research, especially if you’re a teacher and need a lot of pom poms.

What you need:

lots of pom poms
goggle
green construction paper
white school glue
dark blue marker
drag

We have prepared both a video tutorial for you to watch and a photo tutorial for this craft project.
