Hungry Caterpillar Homeschool Printables ~ Free
Alright! Let’s get started on these the very hungry caterpillar activities with free printables!
Have each child pick the fruit they want to make the craft from.
Then, place the fruit template right in the middle of the plate and with a pencil, trace it all around.
Use the scissors to cut out the fruit. Pay more attention to keeping the fruit outline undamaged.
That is what we will use for the craft. You can toss the fruit cut-out.
Hand out some strips of tissue paper in the colors of the fruit the kids are using.
They will use the scissors to cut small squares out of the tissue paper.
While they cut those out, you can cut circles out of the contact paper.
Make sure the circles are big enough to cover the entire outline of the fruit on the paper plate.
Children will then peel the paper off the contact paper and stick it on one side of the paper to cover the entire fruit outline.
The kids will then use the tissue squares to stick to the contact paper.
They can choose to use different shades of the color or just one shade.
It is up to them.
After they’re done, they can use another contact paper circle to paste on the back, to contain the tissue paper.
Punch a hole on the top of the paper plate and tie the yarn on it to hang.
