The Life Cycle Of A Butterfly Craft With A Very Hungry Caterpillar

Review the life cycle of a butterfly with this super-cute Hungry Caterpillar craft activity and easily tie science into literature. Completed projects make a sweet bulletin board.

With several options, it's easy to diversify for a variety of ages & skill levels.

* For one of the caterpillars, students trace and write the words and then color, cut and glue the realistic graphics to the appropriate "body segments".

* An easier version, includes cute clip art right on the circles, skipping the "cut & glue" steps.

* I've also included a full-color "teacher's version" of this caterpillar, so that you can quickly and easily make a sample to share.

This caterpillar craft can also be used as an assessment tool for checking comprehension for the life cycle of a butterfly.

Completed projects make a wonderful spring bulletin board.

I've included a colorful poster for the center of your display.

Some one-word teacher comments:

• “Awesome.”
• “Amazing!”
• “Fantastic!”

There are 4 head options as well

Wiggle eyes, & a pipe cleaner folded into a V, then taped to the back of the caterpillar's head as antennae, all add that 3D bit of pizzazz.

Folding the wings of an extra butterfly up, then gluing just the thorax to the bottom butterfly, also adds the finishing touch with a "Wow!" factor.

Teacher Comments:

• “These were adorable! My first graders loved making these!”
• “Super cute activity and my kindergarten students were able to complete it independently!”
• "Loved how engaged the kids were. This was great to use along with our second grade science kit on butterflies!”
• “Was the perfect activity for my special education students.”

Be sure & check the PREVIEW for all of the options that are included.
