Give your odd socks new lease of life and create your own hungry caterpillar. 

In this video, Naz Syed demonstrates how to make a sock caterpillar. 

Materials you will need:

• A sock (depending what you have at home there are a variety of materials you can use)
• Stuffing (e.g. cotton wool balls, old fabric or socks, pillow stuffing)
• Something to tie it with (e.g. string, hair bands, elastic bands)
• Something for the eyes (e.g. buttons, fabric, pen or googly eyes) 
• Antenna (e.g. pipe cleaner or garden wire) 
• Something to decorate (e.g. fabric, pom poms)

Part of our Gateways into Creative Activity: a series of worksheets, videos and prompts for anyone who would like to have a go at a new artistic activity, or maybe rekindle a dormant creative interest, developed by Marion Cheung, Naz Syed, Creative Lives and Age Cymru, as part of the Unearthing Creativity project.
