Ten Little Caterpillars
I always have a Lois Ehlert book in my To Be Made Pile! Her stories are so rich and adaptable to different ages. I wanted to make a Caterpillar-to-Butterfly activity to share with the children after reading the story. I could use these in different ways with different groups of children. I know some of the children will never be able to sit through 10, so I wanted to make them all and mix them up when necessary. I made 10 butterfly shapes that fold in half. I used felt/puffy paint to glue/draw a caterpillar on the front of each, then colored in the accompanying butterfly or moth:
I used the last two pages of her book as a template:
1-5 caterpillars
1-5 butterflies/moths
6-10 caterpillars
6-10 butterflies/moths
Lisa over at Libraryland is hosting this week’s Flannel Friday. Be sure to check out the weekly roundup!
These have to be some of the most beautiful flannel pieces I’ve ever seen!
Oh, thank you so much! I’m flattered.
