July 24, 2018 By Kristy (Crafts 4 Toddlers) 2 Comments

My kids have loved the Very Hungry Caterpillar starting as toddlers. These easy Caterpillar Crafts for Toddlers are sure to bring enjoyable entertainment to all kiddos. They only require a few steps and use simple supplies you probably already have around the house like kids paint, popsicle sticks, paper, glue, toilet paper rolls, etc.

My favorite kind of crafts are the ones that are just creatively thought up from the random craft supplies you already have at home. So let your toddler’s imagination soar! Also, be sure to check out the fun caterpillar books we have listed at the end of this post that toddlers will love, too!
