Does anyone have any ideas? My DS (3) is going to a 'Woodland' themed birthday party this w/e and wants to go as a caterpillar (nothing else will do, believe me I've tried all sorts of alternatives!) All I really need is a caterpillar mask and reckon I can kust put him in green t-shirt and trousers, but can't find a caterpillar mask anywhere! Very grateful for any suggestions.

How about painting his face green then making him some feelers out of a hairband, pipecleaners and pompoms? There's no way he will keep the mask on anyway, right?

That's genius TeeBee.

I was going to wrack my brains to come up with a solution but I think you've got it - green outfit, face paint and feelers.

Or you could always hand stitch a costume involving several multicoloured segments and built in antennae

Could you sew on some brightly coloured ankle socks stuffed with bubble wrap or something for the caterpillar legs?

Paint on some spots on the t-shirt and tousers?

Homemade caterpillar deeley bopper head band?

Brilliant, you're all geniuses. I knew Mumsnet was useful for something other than wasting time whilst at work! Thanks so much for your help, off to buy some facepaint and deelyboppers and get creative!!!
