Paint outside. Give your kiddos a paint brush and water and let them paint the house, trees, fence, or whatever you like!

Caterpillar Chant
A caterpillar looks so small.
It is hardly there at all.
It munches on green leafy treats,
And it gets bigger as it eats.
It eats and eats, 'til pretty soon,
It wraps up tight in a cocoon.
When it wakes up it blinks its eyes
And says, "I'm now a butterfly!"

Art - Today you will need a paper cup, or something that is a circle shape, and paint and paper. Have your child dip the cup in paint and print circles on a paper. Ask them what shape they are making. When they have practiced for a bit, have them print circles next to each other to form a caterpillar. When it has dried, you can draw on antenna and legs, lots of legs! You could send me a picture and I'll include in on next blog!!!
Caterpillar Facts -
Caterpillars eat their egg after they hatch.
Most caterpillars are shades of green or brown and are relatively hairless, although in many families caterpillars are very hairy and often brightly colored.
Caterpillars eat many leaves and grow very fast.
