Very Hairy Caterpillars

Very Hairy Caterpillars
For part of our planting unit, we made these cute lil' guys. I know that I have seen them on other sites as well, but wanted to share because they are so ADORABLE and the 'little fins' love them! When I took the picture not all of them were growing, but about a week later they all have "hair"! To make these, we used knee-high nylons and a mixture of dirt and grass seed. We put a half cup of the dirt mixture in, tied the nylon, added another half cup of dirt, tied again, added one more half cup, and tied it a last time. I cut off the extra after the last knot. My parent volunteer came in to help with these, and even she loved them.

  3. Hey girl! You need to add the other follow button. If you go to design, choose add a gadget. The follow button is the 9th choice.

    I'll stop by again. =)
