The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Hi Cora!

To begin, ask Mommy, Daddy, Granny, Mimi or Bebah to read you the book The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle.  

Start your craft by sitting at a table with your supplies in front of you.  Count out 21 clothespins.  

Color the clothespins green.  You may also choose to add a little yellow marker to the green to add some highlights.  Look at the picture in the book of the caterpillar.  Do you see some yellow on his body along with green?

Next, count two more clothespins.  Color them red.  

Now it is time to put together your caterpillar!  

Clip the two red clothespins to the string.  Next, clip the green clothespins onto the string following the red ones.  

He needs some eyes!

Cut out two yellow circles.  Color the inside of the circles green.  

Glue the eyes on the red clothespins.  

Now you have finished your very hungry caterpillar!  You can hang it up!  

Have fun making your craft!

Love,

Auntie Abby
