The very hungry caterpillar

Last week we started our new topic, 'The very hungry caterpillar.' The children have really been enjoying this activity and all the activities and crafts that come along with it. Everyone has gotten really good at understanding the life cycle and what happens next. We have even learned a new song to help us remember. See if your child can remember the words and actions at home! 

"There's a tiny caterpillar on a leaf....wiggle..wiggle.

There's a tiny caterpillar on a leaf..wiggle..wiggle.

There's a tiny caterpillar on a leaf....wiggle...wiggle.

Now he eats the leaf around him till he's full....munch munch

Now he eats the leaf around him till he's full....munch munch

Now he eats the leaf around him till he's full....munch munch

Now he's spinning a cocoon for his home...spin spin

Now he's spinning a cocoon for his home...spin spin

Now he's spinning a cocoon for his home...spin spin

Then he'll be a butterfly and fly away...fly fly

Then he'll be a butterfly and fly away...fly fly

Take a look at some of the caterpillar fun we have been having.
