As part of our bug unit, we read The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle, and worked on a collaborative class project.
Working in pairs, students painted glue onto a pre-cut oval.
They placed tissue paper squares onto the glue, overlapping the pieces as they went.
These ovals made up the caterpillar's body.
A red circle with red tissue paper was used for its head.
Two longer strips & blue tissue paper were used as the antennae.
It looks great in the hall outside of our classroom!
Looking for more Very Hungry Caterpillar activities? This book study is a complete unit with companion activities and butterfly life cycle learning activities.
So bright and beautiful!
