I saw this idea first on The Activity Mom but I liked the idea of round felt pieces to make a caterpillar instead of a snake. I used 20 felt circles for our caterpillar. Little Turkey wanted to fill the entire ribbon up with circles instead of spreading them out, but once I convinced him to spread them out to create the caterpillar he was on board. It took him about 10 minutes total.
To make it, I just cut the felt circles about the size of a half dollar. I folded them each in half and snipped them for the button opening. I cut the ribbon about 15 inches long. Then I sewed a starter circle to one end of the ribbon and sewed the button to the other end. So simple!
To stretch this activity, next time I plan to have him put all the dark colors on first, then all the light colors.
