The Cautious Caterpillar

Activities:

• In the story, Cody the Caterpillar changes into a butterfly! Ask a grown-up to help you find out some information about caterpillars or butterflies. You could use books or the Internet. Can you find a fascinating fact to share with us?

• There are four main stages in the life cycle of a butterfly: egg, caterpillar, chrysalis and butterfly. Draw a picture of each stage of the life cycle and write a label too. Alternatively, using play dough, junk or other materials can you make a 3D life cycle? 

• With a grown-up go for a walk around the garden or park. Have a look near some colourful flowers and see if you can find any caterpillars or butterflies. You could draw a picture of what you see.

• Be creative and produce a self portrait for your new teacher using your choice of media.
