The Very Hungry Caterpillar By Eric Carle

Since it is book week at Ascot Intl we decided to read the very popular childrens story, The Very hungry Carerpillar by Eric Carle.

The children have all read this book atleast once before so they were great at answering what he ate and learned some new words such as salami and plums.

We made very cute hand print caterpillars and used a balloon to stamp his head. The children were allowed to paint their own hands after directions were given. They all did a great job!
