C is for Caterpillar

For today's lesson we did a lot of activities revolving around a Caterpillar.

 We read "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle

Then I made a little caterpillar our of pipe cleaners that Addy could use to weave through all the food the caterpillar ate in the story.

Then I helped Addy make a caterpillar by painting her handprint.

 Once the paint dried, she drew on his little face.  I thought it was so cute with two little eyes and a big nose!

Sorry this picture is upside down.  We made a caterpillar C for our alphabet book.  We even put all the color pom pom's in a pattern. Addy picked out which color came next and then helped glue them down.

 Next we practice writing some of the letters in her name.  She's got the letter A down!  It is pretty exciting.  Once the letter writing got too boring, we moved on to putting all the letters in her name in order.  I would mess them all up and she would put them back together. Idea found here.

 Also on that same website was a link to print off these little caterpillars.  They are all different sizes so we just worked on putting them in the right sequence.

 By this time she was a little worn out!

 So we got ready, ate some lunch and then had a fun treat of caterpillars!  That put a smile back on her face.
