The Very Hungry Caterpillar Activities

This month our featured author for the Virtual Book Club is Eric Carle. My 4 year old adores The Very Hungry Caterpillar, so we’ve got some fun caterpillar activities to share today.

First we reread the book, and then made an egg, caterpillar and cocoon from play dough.

My 8 year old inspired by our activities drew his own caterpillar adding in the lifecycle.

There’s no better way to learn about a process than to see it in action so I ordered some caterpillars to go in our Butterfly World. It’s not the best picture, but we can’t believe how fast the caterpillars are growing, they look so much bigger every time we look at them.

We’ve been learning about symmetry by drawing butterflies, for this picture we folded the paper in half, opened it up again, put blobs of paint on one side and then folded again.

We had a lot of fun growing our cress caterpillar too, the cress grew so fast.

If you love Lego this Lego butterfly symmetry activity from Mama.Papa.Bubba is amazing as well.
