In the light of the moon….” I began reading aloud to my toddler in our afternoon quiet time.

“A little egg lay on a leaf….” my toddler finished the sentence instantly.

These are the beginning sentences from the classic children’s read “The very hungry caterpillar” by Eric Carle.

We love this book. Alhamdulillah.

And what’s the reason there not to?!

The classic children read introduces us the lifecycle of a butterfly in an enchanting way, learning the days of the week and the day times. It also introduces the concept of counting to toddlers apart from introducing a set of basic colours. We use it for all of these learnings and recently used it for days of the week reinforcement.

Sunday, Monday , Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday , Friday , Saturday and Sunday again….finally the caterpillar comes out as a beautiful butterfly.

Here’s what we did,

We used the free activity pack of the very hungry caterpillar book at Twinkl for our days of the week learning. Matching the flash cards with each page and then reading and re-reading with what’s on each page of the book. Alhamdulillah it came out as a nice little learning activity.
