Wondering how to make toys with your kids? These colorful felt balls are fantastic to use for a lot of craft ideas. There are rugs, coasters, and centerpieces made out of these, so we thought we’d teach you how to kame toys for kids out of them too.

Items you will need for this How To Make Toys Activity:

For the body of this DIY Caterpillar toy, we will use the felt balls that will be held together by thread. Chop down the pipe cleaners for the caterpillar legs. You might like tiny little short legs, or super duper long legs… that’s totally up to you.

Tie a knot at the end of your thread and push the needle & thread through each felt ball to create your caterpillar body. Add more felt balls to make it longer, or mix it up with a few different sized felt balls to create a really unique caterpillar.
For the cute crawly legs, tie the pipe cleaners around the felt balls.
Get the self-adhesive eyeballs and stick them onto the caterpillar’s head to bring him to life.
