Then, using your tweezers or kitchen tongs, try to pick up the balls of playdough and place them down next to each other to make a caterpillar. Find something to use as antenna and eyes and legs.

Can you make a big face and mouth for your caterpillar?

The caterpillar is hungry, do you think you could make some food for him and feed him with your tweezers/tongs?
