The Very Hungry Catepillar

from:  picture and instructions from http://www.crafts-for-preschool-kids.com/more-crafts.html

If you love the book, why not make the craft!  If you've not read the book, it is also a good read.



How To:
  • Paint 6 small paper plates green and one paper plate red (or just by colored dessert plates).
  • Attach using a hole puncher and yarn.
  • Add legs made from brown construction paper, googly eyes, pom pom for nose and a pipe cleaner for the antennaes.
  • You can have children draw the food the caterpillar ate through, have them color and cut out food and glue onto the caterpillar like shown in the picture below.

Teaching Time: 
  • Take it a step further and teach your child about catepillars.  If you have the book, this is a helpful and fun source to do just that.
