Step -3: Preparing The Base

Cut a circle shape from white construction paper for the base and apply glue to it.

Step -4: Pasting The Leaves

Attach the ginkgo leaves to the white cutout.

Step -5: Making The Body Of The Caterpillar

To create the body of the caterpillar, stack the ginkgo leaves on top of each other with a slight overlap, leaving a small space at the top of each leaf, as shown in the picture. Use glue to attach the leaves together.

Step -6: Making The Caterpillar Head

Cut a circle shape out of yellow construction paper to create the caterpillar’s head.

Step -7: Making The Eyes

Attach two googly eyes to the yellow paper circle.

Step -8: Attaching The Head To The Body Of The Caterpillar

Use a black marker to draw a mouth and tentacles on the head of the caterpillar.

To create the legs of the caterpillar, use a black marker to draw thin, curved lines starting from the bottom of the body and extending outward.

Step -11: Adding Details To The Background

To create the ground we will use leaves of various colors. To attach these leaves, first, apply glue to the bottom of the caterpillar.

Step -12: Making The Ground

Take leaves of various colors and cut them into small pieces. Attach these pieces below the caterpillar, creating a colorful and textured background.

Step -13: Making The Sun

Take a red leaf and cut it into a circular shape to create the sun.

Step -14: Affixing The Sun To The Background

Apply glue to the back of the red leaf sun and attach it to the top right corner of the background. This will add a vibrant pop of color and bring the whole craft together.
