Who doesn’t love The Very Hungry Caterpillar 非常飢餓的毛毛蟲? Eric Carle’s classic story is a colorful adventure that’s packed with fun, food, and a little caterpillar who’s always hungry for more! The more I read it, the more I discover – from counting the days of the week, learning how to count, to even picking up some healthy eating tips! It’s no wonder kids can’t get enough of this book!
Why We Made These Activities
The Very Hungry Caterpillar is so much more than a cute story about a caterpillar munching through food – it’s a fantastic way to teach kids important skills like counting, understanding the days of the week, and making healthy food choices. By turning the book’s lessons into activities, we’re able to reinforce these concepts in a hands-on, interactive way.
Our activities are designed to make learning fun and relevant. They give kids a chance to dive deeper into the story while practicing key skills like counting, language, and sequencing. Whether it’s matching the days of the week or counting the caterpillar’s meals, each activity offers a fresh learning opportunity that connects back to the story’s lessons.
