It's the last day of our awesome series! I hope you've enjoyed it! If you missed any of the days, scroll to the end of today's post to see the full list of all 31 days of Literacy and Learning!
READ.
READ.
Such
a classic story book! Just like Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see?,
The Very Hungry Caterpillar is an Eric Carle staple I'll bet most of us have in
our bookshelves (if not memorized) and read often. I know it's been a
favorite for my girls.
The
story is told of a caterpillar that hatches from an egg, grows, and eats and
eats and eats until he is so full that he becomes big and fat. He builds
his cocoon, stays inside for more than two weeks, and becomes a beautiful
butterfly. It's the classic metamorphosis story.
PLAY.
Create
a "beautiful butterfly" with your child that they can play with over
and over again. Follow the simple steps shown below:
My
girls love to make these, and they only take about 5 minutes. I love them
because they aren't messy, and they don't involve too much skill on the
parent's part! We have quite a collection, and my oldest daughter Grace
plays with hers often. She loves to hold the butterfly by the stick and
swing him around to flap his wings.
It
is also fun to make each one unique and different. One thing we have done
is make a butterfly for everyone in the family. The kids have fun
deciding which colors, patterns, and designs best reflect each person. So
fun!
EAT.
Make a healthy caterpillar for lunch!
Take a
large strawberry and slice to create his head. Next, create his eyes by
using little bits of pineapple cut into circles and place sliced green jelly
belly candies in front. Form his body with green grapes , carrot feet,
raisin mouth, and ham antennae. He is walking on an oatmeal ground and
taking in the cheddar cheese sun!

I always rented a book I wanted my children to read and as you made it fun for them, doing things that related to the book. But I never thought to incorporate their food into it, but that does seem like a smart way to go about it too. Thanks!
