Ideas from the teacher exchange at Eric Carle’s website http://www.eric-carle.com/bb-VHC.html
”This is
an idea for The Very Hungry Caterpillar that I got from a workshop many years
ago. I glued wiggle eyes on a bright green sock and then used felt to make all
of the foods in the story. Each food has a slit cut out of the middle. As the
story is read, I wear the sock caterpillar on my hand and the children feed the
food to the caterpillar by putting it over the sock. The caterpillar and food
then go into a plastic bag and magically appear as a felt butterfly. (I tuck
the butterfly into the palm of my hand inside the sock before I start). I made
this about 15 years ago and assumed it would last a year, maybe two. It is
still around! The children absolutely love this activity.” Cathy Furlong
