Cc is for Caterpillar, Part 1

We made caterpillars with pipe cleaners and pony beads.

Ava's caterpillar family: 

Gracie's. 

We got several books about caterpillars from the library.  They liked all of them but especially The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

We caught 3 caterpillars (roly-polies) and a grasshopper. 

And this cute little guy... 

LOL!  I think its a locust...?  Something was wrong with it's wings so it was easy to catch.  The girls were sooo interested in it and probably spent 15 minutes studying it.  You can add 'Catching Locusts' to my list of 'Things I never thought I would do...until I had children.'  (also on the list: willingly getting up at 6:00 AM, and even 5:30 on occasion, to have some time before the kids wake up)

More homemade caterpillars: 

I let them eat an M&M each time they circled a 'C' on the Letter Hunt worksheets.

Here's Ava trying to sneak an extra one.  =) 

Graphing.  Count how many caterpillars and then fill up that many boxes.  For instance, if there are 2, then put beads in 2 boxes. 

Ava got the hang of it. 

Gracie just liked putting a bead in each box. =) 

Number jumping!

Alphabet puzzle

Do-A-Dot 

Sign language paper.

I cut out circles with the numbers 1-20 printed on them and they glued them on in order to make a big caterpillar.

Then added googly eyes. 

They were so proud of these and asked several times to make another one.  =) 

I'll share the rest of 'Week Cc' in a separate post. =)
