The Very Hungry Caterpillar

We had fun with this today. We read The Very Hungry Caterpillar and did the felt story. Caleb gets really excited about the eggs and the cocoon. I found a butterfly at the dollar store that you can paint so next we went outside and did a little painting.

we did watercolor. Caleb's first time...so we'll have to try again. He was more excited about the markers.

he had a lot of fun with the rice and eggs though. (dollar store again)

squishing it, pouring it, shaking, and stacking.

opening and closing, and breaking apart.

lots of different experimenting going on.

i had fun watching him entertain himself for quite awhile! i love watching his little mind think different things, and then of course him narrating all that he was thinking aloud to me.

a great activity for little hands! no hazards, just mess :) but easy to clean up outside!

fun for spring and easter and nice to do outside on a beautiful day.

Happy Monday!
