The Very Hungry Caterpillar
Felt Board Fun
(or Puppets)
In this section I've put together some simple pages to go with the
story. You can use them in a number of ways:
|
 |
Use the sheets as... FELT BOARD CHARACTERS
- Either complete the black and white sheets as coloring pages (see
above)
OR
- print the black and white sheets on appropriate colored construction
paper
OR
- print the color pages
- You can cover with clear contact paper or laminate if you want them
to last longer.
- Cut out each page.
- Cut out a small piece of coarse sandpaper and tape or glue it on the
back of each animal (if you laminated, it will need to be a larger
piece of sandpaper). The sandpaper will allow the characters to
stick on your felt board.
- If working with a group, give each child an fruit. As you
read the story, have the children bring up the appropriate foods and
put them on the board.
Use the sheets as... PUPPETS
- Either complete the black and white sheets as coloring pages (see
above)
OR
- print the black and white sheets on appropriate colored construction
paper
OR
- print the color pages
- Cut out each image and tape it to a popsicle stick or an
unsharpened pencil.
- If working with a group of children, each one can be a certain food.
- When their part of the story comes up, they can wiggle around
the puppet and either chant their section of the story.
- Color recognition: First, ask all the apples to stand up and
wave their puppets, then all the pears,
etc. Then ask all the people with RED on their puppets to stand up,
then all the ORANGE, etc.
THE TEMPLATES:
- close template window when done printing to return to this screen.
- change your page margins to zero (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER
SETUP in most browsers). See print
help for more info.
