This is a fun and simple craft that goes along great with the book The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a classic book that tells the tale of a Caterpillar on his journey to Metamorphis!  I would suggest reading the book together and discussing all the things a caterpillar eats and how he changes to a butterfly.  Then make The Very Hungry Caterpillar craft together.
