The Very Hungry Caterpillar Cracker Snack (Book-Inspired Series)
Ready to make a fun Very Hungry Caterpillar snack? It’s almost too cute to eat! Made from crackers, Big Brother made it back when he was in a preschool summer camp class. Each kid had their own fun caterpillar creation. This Eric Carle inspired activity would be fun to do with this handprint caterpillar craft and caterpillar to butterfly craft. *This post was originally published 2/23/2016 and updated on 3/31/2020.
