Load up your toddler's fingers with green paint. Make the caterpillar's body with green fingerprints.

Use a red thumbprint as the caterpillar's head.

Draw in the antennae, legs, eyes and mouth with a black marker pen.

Add a yellow sun in one corner and colourful fingerprint flowers along the bottom of the page.

You could also add fingerprint versions of all the food the caterpillar munches through.
