You need: 

• Water balloons inflated
• Paints; red, greens, yellow, brown and black
• Card to paint on

I first gave the kids a big piece of paper to just test the balloons on. Water balloons are a perfect size. I asked the kids specifically to make dots or blobs with the paint, not to make lines or to swipe with the balloon.

Then we gave an A4 card to each child and started by showing an example of how to make a row or line of dots with the balloon. We advised the kids to start with a red blob on one end of the card and then continue with a row of green blobs to create the caterpillar. The antennas and feet were made by putting your hand in a fist, dip the side of your pinky finger in some black or brown paint and then print the “L” shape to their places.
