This week we started our Very Hungry Caterpillar unit and Campbell has loved it!
One of the biggest hits has been the felt board story sequencing pictures. She has loved using it when we read the story and I'll often hear or see her at the board counting and naming the pictures. So cute!
She has also enjoyed the Matching butterflies file folder game. I printed it out using cardstock, cut out the pieces, glued one copy to the file folder, and laminated the file folder and the other copies to make a matching activity.
We also worked on her sorting using a chip and dip tray I bought at Dollar General and the cutest little insect erasers from Oriental Trading. It was less of a hit, but we'll keep trying...
She loves painting so she and Robbie made this caterpillar. So cute!
Here is our sensory box with dried pasta and plastic bugs and a butterfly magnifying glass I bought at the $1 aisle at Target. It has been a big hit for her to dig in and play with while I'm cooking dinner!
These are from the Tot Book/Pack. I adapted it and made it a matching activity. She really loves doing the shapes and can now identify oval, star, and heart and point to the other shapes when asked.
These are supposed to be for putting in size order but she doesn't really get it yet...
We also made this caterpillar craft. It used to have legs and a mouth before I let her play with it... Oh, and I basically had to remake it using my hot glue gun because Elmer's just didn't cut it...

I found your blog through my longtime friend Heather and have enjoyed reading about you and your sweet family. I just wanted to encourage you to keep at your projects and work with Campbell. As a former kindergarten teacher and SAHM of a 5 and 2 year old, I know the benefits of teaching them at home. My 5 year old is reading at a 2nd grade level and LOVES anything to do with school and I know that the work I have done with him at home has really given him a head start for kindergarten. As an added benefit, the projects I have done with he and his brother have been some of our sweetest memories!
I think I need to send Avery to Campbell camp. You are SO creative. I am SO jealous! lol
Emily would like to come to Campbell camp too. :-) Makes me feel like a bad mom and bad EI too. :-) I enjoy getting ideas from all of your creative ideas.
Oh my goodness! You are so creative and this looks like SO much fun!
So I seriously need to get together with you and pick your brain on crafts. I'm totally looking forward to time at home with Anna, but have no idea where to start when it comes to lessons. HELP! Keep the crafts coming.
