While we were outside having a great time, we found these HUGE green caterpillars in our garden! We have been in amazement with them ever since. We have watched them eat green leaves they love to munch on. This inspired us to start a project on caterpillars!
Look at that!
The caterpillar is often referred to as the tomato hornworm.
They blend in with the leaf so well!
We wanted to make the exact same caterpillar we saw in the garden, so we used a long sheet of white paper to make our caterpillar...
Making sure to cut the newspaper in all the right sizes...
We used newspaper strips to show the patterns on the caterpillar...
We did a great job drawing out the rest of his body!
I think I'm going to need more srtips than this!
We wanted to make sure we put all the pieces in the right spot!
Natalia did a great job making his eyes in the middle of the paper..she made 2 blue circular eyes!
Next we looked at what letters were in the word "CATERPILLAR" and practiced writing it.
We took our time writing each letter carefully and slowly so it was just right!
Come check out the final piece of our tomato hornworm in our classroom!
