Very Hungry Caterpillar Craft!

Have you ever read The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle and have wanted to eat everything insight like the hungry caterpillar?

Try creating a craft like this one based off of The Very Hungry Caterpillar, maybe you can read the book like they are instructions while the kids help put together the caterpillar or put the fruit in the cups?

Meanwhile you should come by the library and check out our copy of the book.

Here is the link with detailed instructions and other fun ideas: http://seevanessacraft.com/2012/09/tot-school-tuesday-the-very-hungry-caterpillar/.
 Enjoy!

Sock Caterpillars!

Make your own stuffed animal, or in this case, caterpillars!

You can use tube socks or stocking socks, depending on how long you want your caterpillar to be. Craft stores do sell fabric glue if regular glue does not work. You don't have to add floral wire either, I thought it would be neat to bend it in a billion different ways and have it stay that way each time because of the floral wire. Shenanigans.

Egg Carton Turtles!

It's turtle nesting season!  Until sometime in October, according to Sea Turtle Conservatory (their website: http://www.conserveturtles.org/florida.php?page=nestingseason). The last day has not been announced yet, sorry.

These are super adorable and really simple, and I'm sure you can create any design on the turtle shell that you want!

Toilet Paper Roll Flower

Spring is only two days away!! Sure, outside doesn't feel like Spring at all yet, but inside you can decorate your room with a flower...made from toilet paper rolls! Click the link for a short tutorial: Toilet Paper Roll Flower
The tutorial itself doesn't have too may details, but here's an idea: In the picture it looks like there is a pompom in the center of the flower. If you decide to add a pompom you could give it a small spritz of perfume so your flower has a sweet spring smell!
