the very hungry caterpillar

[lyla's mum]

a permanent favourite of my dd and mindees so we are doing a display on this at the moment.
last week we made these:


today we have made butterfly prints by painting one half of a sheet of paper, folding to press paint onto otherside. tomorrow we are make fruit collage pictures, next week plan to do fruit printing, and to make paperchain caterpillars using strips of paper and the stapler

Last year we had some caterpillars from Insect lore - the children loved watching them grow and turn into butterflies. It's a great activity to do alongside this book when the weather gets a bit warmer.
