Hungry Caterpillar Prewriting
Prewriting is essential before a child can appropriately write letters. Prewriting also helps strengthen handwriting skills. This simple tracing activity will help children write a variety of lines while taking the caterpillar to its food.
Alphabet & Number Tracing
Kids need to learn how to write each letter, but this can be difficult on its own. Starting with tracing is a simple way to help. Each apple has its own Uppercase Letter that kids can trace. You can laminate the sheet and use this over and over with a dry erase marker if you’d like!
Memory Game
Memory games are so much fun but have so much room for growing & developing. Kids will not only strengthen short term memory, but attention span and focus too. Not to mention visual recognition and critical thinking. Also, to make it easier, you can only do a few matches at a time if you’d like.
Coloring Pages
Grab the crayons and choose these coloring pages. There are multiple to choose from and all have to do with caterpillars and butterflies!
Trace The Words
Just like with the letter and number tracing, there are multiple word tracing sheets, too. The words all have to do with caterpillars and butterflies and will make kids feel super excited and proud that they can trace words!

Hi, thanks for sharing! Can you elaborate more on the memory game? How to play the memory game? Am I supposed to cut those pics out? Thanks,
Ashley says
Hello, for the memory game, please do cut out the piece like you said. The objective of the game is to get your child to memorize which tile they saw, and match it with the ones they have in their hands. To make it challenging, show them more than one at a time! Hope that helps and have fun.

Hello,
I am trying to download The Very Hungry Caterpillar Activity Sheets and not able to do it.
I signed up previously to be a member, but did so again today. I hope that does not create a duplicate entry for you.
Is there a charge for the activity sheets above? I didn’t see a way to pay either. I may want to by the The Very Hungry Caterpillar Activity Book, but I am concerned that the download will not work.
Thank you for your help.
