Recently, Eric Carle, the wonderful children’s books author, celebrated his 89th birthday.
What a legend he is!
And in his honor, we are excited to have this awesome free printable hungry caterpillar set of 3-part cards!
With these Eric Carle very hungry caterpillar printables, your kids will not only have fun with the beautiful images inspired by one of children’s favorite childhood books, but they will also be learning the names of those images.
They will learn to recognize and make the connection between the words and the images and, if you are really ambitious, they can also learn to write these words!
