Caterpillar puppet

This is a fun Garden party craft that the kids can make inside or outdoors at your event. You'll need the following party supply items to create a fun Caterpillar puppet; Cotton Sock, Yarn, Buttons, Pom-poms, Pipe Cleaners, Ribbon, Glue, Markers. You'll need as many socks as there are guests at your party. It's okay to use your old socks, just make sure they are clean!

Start your Garden party caterpillar by gluing a variety of pom-poms (or cotton balls), buttons, yarn, and/or ribbon onto the sock. These fun accents and items will work to make a colorful caterpillar. Cut a pipe cleaner in half and push both of them through the toe of the sock to make antennae. You can push a line of pipe cleaners along the side of the sock to create a caterpillar with fuzzy hairs. Next use a marker to create the eyes and a mouth of the cute Garden party caterpillar. The caterpillar puppet is now complete. You can have the kids and guests wear the sock on their hands to make a puppet show for the Garden party.

After the party ends you can turn your Caterpillar puppet into a caterpillar stuffie. Have an adult buy some polyester stuffing or even cut up some more old socks. Then stuff the garden caterpillar full with them. Next, have an adult carefully sew the open end of the caterpillar sock shut to create a homemade Garden party stuffed animal. Be sure to let your guests know they can turn their puppets into stuffies.
