Edit
In accolade of the upcoming 45th anniversary of majority The Very Hungry Caterpillar past times Eric Carle, I accept a fun caterpillar action to part alongside y'all today! Tomorrow I volition accept a Very Hungry Caterpillar giveaway too!!
Our caterpillar color sorting action is super tardily to brand as well as fun to play alongside ane time again as well as again.
I did this action alongside my 3-year-old as well as it tin move adapted for younger as well as older kids. Jump over to Instagram to run across how my sixteen calendar month one-time got himself involved. :)
Here's what y'all need:
colored cardstock or structure paper, scissors, painters tape, markers, a wall or apartment surface y'all tin stick record to.
Here's how to brand the caterpillar color sorting activity:
Grab several pieces of colored newspaper as well as something circular to draw (I used a cereal bowl) as well as brand several colorful circles as well as cutting them out.
Use the scraps to cutting out small-scale shapes inwards each color-- squares, rectangles, circles, ovals, hearts, etc.
Draw some big eyes as well as antennae as well as and then stick your caterpillar to the wall (or table) using painters tape. Stick the colorful shapes to the wall too. You tin add together legs if y'all desire equally well.
Next explicate to your tike that their project is to stick the colored shapes on the matching colored caterpillar segments.
As before long equally my missy saw this she was at ane time gear upwardly to acquire started sorting!
Although this is a color sorting activity, nosotros threw shapes into the action inwards a depression fundamental agency therefore that it got us talking almost as well as exploring shapes (and colors) piece nosotros sorted. We also counted the dissimilar shapes equally nosotros sorted, therefore nosotros added inwards a picayune math too.
For preschoolers this tin move a uncomplicated independent station y'all tin laid upwardly or y'all tin run together. Instead of sorting shapes y'all could instead add together colored pieces of newspaper alongside letters or numbers.
By using painters record the newspaper shouldn't rip when y'all motion the pieces some as well as y'all tin role the form pieces as well as caterpillar ane time again as well as again. If y'all desire to save them longer, laminate them or comprehend them alongside contact paper. Ours didn't concluding equally good long because my sixteen calendar month one-time had a dissimilar action inwards mind.
You could also easily stick a slice of contact newspaper over your caterpillar (sticky side out) therefore that kids could merely stick shapes correct onto the mucilaginous caterpillar without needing tape.
I loved how uncomplicated this action was to make. It exclusively took a few minutes... as well as yet, how engaged my missy was the entire fourth dimension she was sorting. She was therefore proud when she finished as well as had gotten each colored form inwards the correct spot.
For younger kids, don't worry almost sorting as well as instead merely accept them stick colored newspaper scraps on the caterpillar. It volition move therefore fun to run across the creative as well as colorful caterpillars they come upwardly up with!
Ever since my kids were picayune they accept been fascinated past times caterpillars, generally because of how much they LOVE The Very Hungry Caterpillar past times Eric Carle. I am therefore excited to move an Official Very Hungry Caterpillar Blogger as well as celebrate the anniversary of this bully book!
