Food Pouch Cap Bug Craft

Food Pouch Cap Bug Craft

With food always comes bugs. Am I right? And the bugs have arrived – just in time for play time with the kiddos! Upcycle your old food pouch caps and make this Food Pouch Cap Bug Craft with your kids for a fun kid activity that will have your kids loving everything creepy and crawly!

I hate wasting. With so many baby food pouches we’ve been going through, I couldn’t just keep throwing the perfect colorful caps away! They’re perfect for crafting, don’t you think! So determinedly, we decided to make a craft featuring these cute little caps. Ready to upcycle and create an adorable craft that your kids will love?
Here’s what you’ll need…

Supplies to make Food Pouch Cap Bug Craft

Food Pouch Cap Bug Craft

What You Will Need:

1. Food Pouch Caps – at least 3 of them
2. Pipe Cleaners
3. Googly Eyes
4. Pom Poms
5. Hot Glue

Directions:

Food Pouch Cap with googly eye and pipe cleaner

I personally found that the Earth’s Best Organic Caps were the best for threading antennae. Paste on the googly eyes and add a cute little pom-pom nose to the middle 🙂

Food Pouch Caps glued together for Bug Craft

For the body, I threaded through a “U” shaped pipe cleaner through the caps, then twisted in the back to create little legs. You can alternatively glue the caps together, but much messier…and not held together quite as firmly.

Add more legs by twisting pipe cleaners in-between caps.

Upcycled Craft Food Pouch Cap Bugs

Aren’t they adorable? My son loved helped making these! This is a great alternative to throwing those food caps away. Add them to your craft stash until you’re ready to create. And have some creepy crawly fun with these upcycled bugs!

    Ha! This is great! It reminds me of the game cooties! My four year old would love this! 🙂 I am also kind of obsessed with bugs, insects, etc… so this is pretty cool!

    They are cute! A great craft to make with the kids on a rainy day that you won’t mind throwing away a few days later 🙂

    How cute! We go through a ton of the pouches, so this would be easy to save up for. Thanks for sharing!

    oh my goodness what a clever idea! We use these cap tops as counters in our homeschooling – love the idea to use them as a craft!
