Egg Carton Caterpillar

Caterpillars may look like simple insects, but they live a very fascinating life. They start their life as squirmy larvae, change into a chrysalis or cocoon, and then transform into a moth or butterfly. In this activity, kids will create their own caterpillar and learn facts about the insect’s life cycle.
