Love Bug Caterpillar Craft for Kids

413shares

Want an easy toilet paper craft to do with your toddler? Try a colorful love bug craft — perfect for Valentine’s day or Spring as the weather warms and you explore nature.

Today I’m sharing a fun, yet simple love bug caterpillar craft for kids. This is a great spring craft to do with toddlers who love learning about bugs and other little creatures around the yard and house.

How to Make a Love Bug – Materials

  • Pom poms
  • Googly eyes
  • Pipe Cleaner
  • Toilet paper roll
  • Hot Glue
  • Popsicle stick (optional)

Start by bending the toilet paper roll to create a fun heart-shape “log” for your love bug to sit on.

Have your child paint the toilet paper roll red using washable paint.

As that dries, let him or her choose a few pom pom colors you can use to create your caterpillar-like critter.  Hot glue the pom poms onto the dry toilet paper roll. Add googly eyes and pipe cleaner antennas!
