There is a butterfly festival coming up soon so we have been enjoying
prepping Sophie with all things butterfly. We started by watching Eric
Carle's The Very Hungry
Caterpillar. Then Sophie made (with a bit of help) a paper chain
Caterpillar...

Grandma Sue saw what we were up to and gave Sophie a little stuffed
caterpillar toy. Throughout the past few weeks we've taken some opportunities to sequence The Very Hungry
Caterpillar story using cards...
We also did a bit of dramatization and acted like a
caterpillar in a cocoon (pillowcase) and coming out as a butterfly and dancing around flapping our wings...


She colored a cocoon...

And finished with a toilet paper roll/tissue paper butterfly, complete with chenille
antennae...


It's been a lot of fun!
