You need a pair of scissors, some pipe cleaners and a bit of circular wood.
Start by taking two pipe cleaners, and wrapping them around the piece of wood into the shape of a coiled spring.
|  |
 |
 |
 |
When that's done, take the coiled pipe cleaners off the piece of wood.
Then cut the other pipe cleaner in half.
|
Take one half of the pipe cleaner you've just cut, and put it through the coil.
Then bend the two exposed edges into a coil.
|  |
 |
 |
 |
And that completes the caterpillar - which looks good enough as it is! But put it onto a pen and there you have a pipe cleaner pen top!

|
You could have a try at making other kinds of creatures. How about a snake or crab - or these butterflies?
