The Hungry Caterpillar




This amazing and world-known story of a caterpillar that eats and eats and eats until it turns into a butterfly is very catching! Eric Carle books are full of bright and lovely images that appeal to the youngest as well as older children across the whole world.

There ia a great variety of editions of this world-famous book, I have one that includes a finger puppet that is a handy helper in reading for groups of children. Thanks to this puppet, the caterpillar is super vivid, almost live-like and children just love interacting with it.

Here are some follow-up craft tips that you can do with your little ones.

Your kids might be hungry by now so why not prepare them a simple caterpillar-like snack? Use grapes for bodies and strawberries for heads. I couldn't get strawberries in the shop so used cherry tomatoes instead. Kids had lots of fun doing these!

To do yet another follow-up, suitable for home environment, let your kids watch an online puppet show: The Hungry Caterpillar Puppet Show or let them listen to a lovely Butterfly song that my daughter Mája loves.
