Eric Carle Very Hungry Caterpillar
By Lori 2

Clip to ScrapBook   
I just thought of a really cute craft my older daughter did in kindergarten with this book.

They took a paper plate -- the real cheap kind -- and drew lines to mark it off in quarters. Then they drew a leaf in each quarter.
In the first quarter they glued some rice grains on the leaf to represent the butterfly eggs. In the second quarter they glued a piece of spiral corkscrew macaroni on the leaf to represent the caterpillar. In the third quarter, they glued a piece of shell macaroni hanging from the leaf with the rounded side out to represent the chrysalis. In the last quarter they glued a piece
of bowtie macaroni for the butterfly!

It was really cute and was a terrific way to demonstrate a butterfly's life cycle. It could be used with any book talking about butterflies.
