Caterpillar Suprise

We read Hungry Hungry Caterpillar

Then I asked them what inside my surprise ?

Then I open my Caterpillar

I give each child 3 part egg carton

one piece of paper

2 piece pipe cleaner

markers or paint to decorate your Caterpillar (egg carton section )

rubber band

Once they are done coloring the egg carton I wrap their caterpillar in there paper .

Talking about how the caterpillar build a cocoon .Ours are working really hard at this right now .

Now we laid them on the counter and at nap . You come along and glue down the Caterpillar down and add wings . Already for them to decorate after they open their surprise .

(Isn't metamorphosis amazing )

This idea i got around 5 plus years ago from The best Mailbox book 1.
