Last week we made a letter B is for Bus craft. This week we move on to the letter C, and this week’s craft is a caterpillar.

This craft requires cutting. Depending on the child’s age, you may want to do the tracing and/or the cutting for them. That way you can provide the child with the foam pieces to work with, and the child can simply glue them together. Meanwhile, you may want to allow older children, such as pre-k or kindergarteners, to work on their fine motor skills and try to cut the pieces out on their own, although they may still need some help tracing the template onto the foam pieces.

    This is so cute! I’ve gotten lazy helping my kids learn their letters (ok not lazy, just frustrated and tired, lol). I think we could all enjoy doing these crafts.
