EAD – There are many ways to make your own 3d Hungry Caterpillar –

Make a Hungry Caterpillar

Make a home for The Very Hungry Caterpillar
The caterpillar is very full.
Can you make a place for him to rest?

Gather together leaves, wool, paper pieces and other materials, and stick
them down in the space below the caterpillar to make a cosy place
for him to sleep.

Make a tree

This leaf is part of a tree.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar was born on a leaf.

Create a 3D tree!

Collect twigs or a small branch that has fallen from a tree. If there are no twigs nearby, you could use straws. Stick the twig to some clay or plasticine for a secure base. Make leaves by tearing or cutting paper or tissue paper, and attach them to the tree with string or twine.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar collage making

You can use lots of different materials to make your Very Hungry Caterpillar, including coloured crayons, tissue paper and coloured card. This will give your picture lots of different colours and textures.
