Hungry Caterpillar turns into a butterfly

After reading The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carl, we made our own butterfly, like the beautiful one on the last page of the book. We used printmaking to color the butterfly's wings, we ran car's wheels through paint, bouncey balls, marbles, home-made stamps, and of course hand prints and (unplanned!) footprints! the kids loved getting messy and using their hands and feet in the paint. Joaquin said this was the best art project ever!
