Playful Caterpillar Cupcake Liner

Beautifully illustrated and simply written, it is the perfect story to wind down to at bedtime or use in a daytime activity explaining the lifecycle of a butterfly.

To extend the fun of a favourite book, I like to incorporate them into some of our after school arts and crafts activities at home. I bought a box of colourful cupcake cases recently which were perfect for the activity I had in mind to go along with The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

Supplies

Coloured cupcake cases / liners

Popsicle sticks

Sticky gems

Googly eye

Glue

Instructions:

1. We started work on the caterpillar first, squashing down green cupcake cases for his head and gluing these across a large sheet of white paper.

2. Next up was red head, which we finished off with a big googly eye and a little smile. Add on a few sparkly gems and your done.

3. At the end of the story The Very Hungry Caterpillar emerges from his cocoon as a beautiful butterfly and our colorful cupcake cases were perfect to recreate him as a colorful butterfly.

4. you may choose 4 different colored cupcake cases to use to make butterflies body, before gluing them onto another large sheet of white paper.

5. We then used a popsicle stick for his body, which my daughter added a little face on with a marker pen before sticking a few more of our sparkly gems over the butterflies wings.
