I found these wonderful printables at the First School site. C colored all of them a while back. I had actually planned to do a project based on this book months ago and these printables have been sitting in an envelope already colored for quite some time. I forgot I had them until my sister told me about Very Hungry Caterpillar Day.
We read the book together and C and R both enjoyed helping tell the story. C knows the days of the week now and this book is a great way to reinforce his knowledge.
Egg cartons, pipe cleaners, and googly eyes were transformed into these adorable caterpillars.
This one was made by R.

C and R colored butterflies.
I found a song called Butterfly Cycle (copyrighted by Suzy Gazlay) sung to the tune of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" and we sang this a few times.
The Very Hungry Caterpillar is one of our favorite books and we definitely had a lot of fun with it this week.
Today we will be making more butterflies and I will post the photos later!
