The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Last week our school participated with most of the country in an attempt to break the record for consecutive readings of The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

I thought it would be a great chance to teach my Cathedral Arts Project students the method and technique that Eric Carle uses for his illustrations.

Here is a picture of the finished banner they created. It was created by first painting color themes on blank pieces of paper and then cut and glued onto a huge caterpillar and letters in the same style that Eric Carle used.
