Hungry Caterpillar

We did this unit the week before Thanksgiving and and into Thanksgiving week. Since then, we have slacked on Tot school. :/ We've just been so busy! Hoping to get a one week unit in sometime before Christmas though. :)  We did the Hungry Caterpillar for this unit! It was a lot of fun and I found so many ideas on Pinterest and from Kristin (that is the nice thing about you starting tot school 3 months earlier than we started… I just get to steal your ideas!) ;)

We made a chain link caterpillar! 

 He fed his hungry caterpillar some of his snack.

 I had found a book of the Hungry Caterpillar that kids can color at Marshalls months ago. Every day we colored more of the book until it was all finished!

 Our caterpillar breakfast.

 We made a butterfly our of handprints and a caterpillar out of toes! :)

 Some more of his book!

 We read a couple of books about how caterpillars turn into butterflies!

 We made the caterpillar eat the different foods that were mentioned in the book. This activity took me like an hour to make and his interest lasted about 2 minutes. Perfect. :) At least it's laminated for the next time I do this unit. Haha.

 We practiced counting the fruits.

 We also counted to 10 with the green and red cotton balls and the clothes pins. Then we made a caterpillar.

 A butterfly breakfast!

 We worked on matching patterns.

 Coloring more of his book!

 We finished the unit by making a caterpillar with a paper towel roll and counting circles! We did a lot of counting this unit, which he LOVES.

That was it! :)
