I was really excited to read this book to Jasper when he was little, because I remembered it from my childhood. He liked it so much that he chewed the side of the book up. I made up this activity as part of a preschool parent share at Wylie's school, because the kids are studying insects. They raised caterpillars and released them as butterflies today. The teachers read The Very Hungry Caterpillar
while I set up the activity and then the kids gathered around and made their own hungry caterpillar sushi rolls. See the photo tutorial below. Today is the day that I announce the winner of the Kikkerland Birch Paper Straws...Congratulations to reader Jen! 
Ha! Our copy of The Very Hungry Caterpillar has a bite out of the cover, courtesy of Jasper. Every time I read it to Leo I think of you guys.
ReplyDeleteThose are so clever! So great to integrate a project and book like that into the curriculum. I can't wait to try making these. But I have to tell you, that book bored me to tears and after the first kid was over it I donated it! Different strokes for different folks. :) Happy weekend, Heather!
