Eric Carle's beloved book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, turns 40 this year! Actually, the official "day" was March 20th - so I'm a little late to the party, but you can still celebrate this milestone all year. The Crafty Crow has a list of links for crafts and snacks (complete with caterpillar holes!) you can do with your children to celebrate this beloved book!
I...uh...we just love Eric Carle's books, including Brown Bear, Brown Bear, Pancakes, Pancakes, and The Grouchy Ladybug! He is a gifted artist with a style that appeals to both children and adults. His books are always such a pleasure to share with our children!
Scoot on over to The Crafty Crow and get you caterpillar party started...or you may get leafed behind! (I know, I know! Can I help it if I'm not exactly the creative type?)
