I am so excited to share with you our Very Hungry Caterpillar printable book today with numbers, fruits, counting, and colors because I am hoping you love Book Inspired Activities and all things Eric Carle as much as the kids and I do! The repetition, coloring pictures, and pre-writing practice in the printable book are perfect for helping kids learn to read!
Around our house we have been making books like crazy because I just love hearing my daughter (age 4, preschooler) read! Little Tiger is so proud when she reads them to anyone who will listen and I love watching her read!!! I foresee lot’s of printable books coming soon because I don’t think I will ever get over how exciting it is to watch her read, lol. We made The Very Hungry Caterpillar Fruit Pizzas to enjoy as we read together and played some fun Very Hungry Caterpillar Games.
