I hope you love this unit as much as I do!
Here is a simple art project we also do…
I take lots of yellow and green construction paper and use the die cut at school to make it into a circle.
I use a few reds for the head only. My little loves can put together their caterpillar using the circles, then add the legs, antenna, and additional features to it. This is simple, and fun, and brings the book to life for your students.
Adorable!

I love this post! I use _The Very Hungry Caterpillar_ to teach Spanish to my students in 2nd and 3rd grade. I wish I had a version of your unit in Spanish!
Thanks to the fact that so many teachers use it in the early years, they really know the story and can understand it in Spanish.
Beautiful work!

My students love Mr. Carle's illustrations. The sequencing of days gets the children excited to read along with me and helps them learn the days of the week. I have always been drawn to any book he has written or illustrated. Thank you for this offer!
