July 7: Egg Carton Caterpillers

 

The night before this "project day," I had no idea what we were going to do.  I had plans to scrapbook with my friend, Kelli, and her son, Ian, was coming over to play, so I didn't want anything too fussy or time-consuming.  I found a package of pipe cleaners in the craft supplies bag, so I went online to see what I could find.  I came up with this cute spider idea using egg carton pieces.  

 Of course, Koen didn't want to make a spider; he wanted to make a caterpillar instead.  Fortunately, I had cut up the entire egg carton and had plenty of pieces to put a caterpillar together...or should I say three caterpillars -- one for Koen, one for Ty, and one for Ian.  They didn't turn out too badly for being an impromptu project.  Ty & Ian showed off their creations for the camera, but there's no picture of Koen since he chose not to cooperate.
