The Very Hungry Caterpillar Craft
Create a Caterpillar Craft inspired by Eric Carle’s picture book: The Very Hungry Caterpillar
Inspiration Book: The Very Hungry Caterpillar
Author: Eric Carle
My Review: The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a classic story that every child should read or listen to. It tells the story about a very hungry caterpillar that goes through a week of eating and eating and eating.
This book is filled with beautiful colors and artwork by the author himself. Kids learn a little bit about numbers and fruits as well. It is a very interactive book with different sized pages, holes and counting colorful fruits.
