Eric Carle Story Time: June 26-27, 2017

Books:
From Head to Toe by Eric Carle *
Little Cloud by Eric Carle
The Mixed-Up Chameleon by Eric Carle *
"Slowly, Slowly, Slowly," Said the Sloth by Eric Carle
The Very Busy Spider by Eric Carle
The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle *

Craft: Butterfly
The children colored eight teardrop shapes before gluing them to a jumbo craft stick to make a butterfly.

Literacy Extensions:
- The Very Hungry Caterpillar tells the story of a caterpillar that eventually turns into a butterfly.  Use the book as a starting point to learning more about caterpillars and their transformation to butterflies.  There are several great books at the library for young children on this process.
- After reading The Little Cloud, spend some time outdoors looking at the clouds.  Encourage your child's imagination by having them find shapes and objects in the clouds.
