For this weeks stART project, we enjoyed the book The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle.
This is the perfect springtime book. It celebrates the little caterpillar as it eats its way through the book, and then becomes a very beautiful butterfly.
I found these great story sequencing cards at DLTK crafts.

I just love these cards. Our book came with a cd, so I have tucked these cards right into the cd pocket in the book, so that they are always handy.
Each of the kids picked their own color of construction paper for the butterfly's body.
I traced the head and body shapes onto the construction paper so the littles could cut it out themselves.
Big google eyes and pipe cleaner antenna finish the head and body.
The next step was the messy step. Let the littles stamp 4 handprints onto cardstock.
Kimmy is an expert 3 year old cutter.
