Summer is here! Which means the kids are out of school, and you have to make sure they stay occupied and out of trouble. An easy way to achieve that is with caterpillar crafts! I especially like caterpillar crafts on this list that recycle things around the house, or maybe you would have thrown away otherwise, such as an egg carton! These caterpillar crafts are great for educational purposes if you are homeschooling through the summer. You can use a number of these crafts to teach counting, patterns, and the life-cycle of a caterpillar.

While these are great for teaching purposes, all of these are perfect for “just for fun” type crafting! From fridge art, to outdoor decorations, to even an adorable suncatcher, this list has lots of different kinds of caterpillar craftsto keep your kids entertained!
