Miss Quinn's Groovy art & craft ideas
Loom bands - can you make a Caterpillar and some colourful butterflies?
Decorating rocks or stones, using felt tips or paints, designing them and placing together to make a Caterpillar body ( depending on how many you have) or individual design per stone
Makng a picture using leaves for the caterpillar and small flowers like daisy's for the butterflies perhaps you could collect these while out on your daily walks, maybe you could be a detective, take a note book and write down what butterflies you see, perhaps you could investigate the name of them when you return home and even try drawing and colouring them.
Do you have any recycling at home? Could you design and make a butterfly from it?
If you have chalk, why not go outside in the garden and chalk some caterpillars and butterflies... don't forgot to chalk all the food he ate...
Paper chain Caterpillars can be fun, can you make one as long as you?
Playdough why not try and make a butterfly you could use buttons to decorate or other pretty objects you might have
Can you paint your hands to print a Caterpillar picture? Or you feet for a butterfly
Or how about making a Caterpillar from an old egg box, turn if upside down to paint, but make sure its empty first..
Do you have any colourful T-shirts? How about spreading them out on your carpet or floor, and try to make a butterfly... but remember to fold them away nicely after.
