The Very Hungry Caterpillar--Easy Craft

 If you have never read the popular children's book "The Very Hungry Caterpillar," you should put it on your list of things to do this summer. It is a super cute story that your kids will have you reading over and over again, a favorite in our house for sure.

Since this book has been a favorite of Superkids, we decided to plan a little craft to go along with the book to stick on our fridge. You don't need very much for supplies, here is what we used:

• A piece of background paper- I used plain white
• PomPoms- you can get these at the Dollarstore or WalMart
• Pipe Cleaners- to make antenna for your caterpillar
• A hot glue gun to stick the PomPoms to the paper
• Some crayons/pencil crayons or markers to title your picture

To assemble, simply glue your PomPoms in a caterpillar like direction, add the antenna to the top of his head, and decorate as you please. I let my hot-glue dry slightly so Superkid could place the PomPoms herself. Voila! A quick and easy craft to do after you read this wonderful story.

Here is what ours looked like. You could spiffy it up by adding some little eyes on your Caterpillar too. Have fun with it and make it your own.
