Caterpillar Activities In the Preschool Classroom

There are so many caterpillar-inspired activities you can add to your preschool classroom!

Caterpillars After 7 days - Preschool

Our caterpillars arrived last week and we could not have been more excited.  It is the first thing the students go to in the mornings.  I can’t believe how big they have gotten in just seven days! We have been busy with caterpillar activities and reading books about the stages of butterflies.  Such an exciting time in the preschool classroom.  I ordered these caterpillars last year and again this year directly from Amazon.

These pom pom caterpillars were a big hit with my students. Print this leaf template on green construction paper or card stock and cut out the leaves. Add a strip of glue, pom poms, and googly eyes!
