Step 5: Add Details
• Add googly eyes and a smile.
• Cut out two small strips of green construction paper for antennae.
• Attach with glue on the back of your caterpillars head.
• Use your hole punch to make holes in your leaf - this caterpillar likes to eat all of his green food. Do you?
Note
Did you know that a Queen caterpillar (soon to be Queen Butterfly), actually has three sets of antennae instead of two sets, like Monarch caterpillars?
