Here are some fun things to make and do.

Create a Cut-Out Caterpillar
Can you create your own Cut-out Caterpillar?
Inspired by Henri, the little caterpillar with big dreams who appears in my picture book Caterpillar Dreams.
You will need:
• Scissors
• Coloured paper
• Pritt Stick or glue
• Pencil or crayon
• Scissors
• Coloured paper
• Pritt Stick or glue
• Pencil or crayon
1. Start by cutting out the body. A wiggly sausage shape works best.
2. Then, cut out and 6 legs, a round circle for the eye, and Henri’s feelers. Can you see what shapes they are?
4. Don’t forget his stripes!
5. Glue everything down so your shapes won't fly away.
6. Use a pencil or crayon to draw the pupil of Henri's eye and his mouth, and to sign your artwork.
Tips: Can you cut the shapes freehand without drawing outlines. You could even try tearing the paper instead of cutting. You can use any colours you like! Your caterpillar might look totally different to Henri. What will you call it? What adventures will they go on?
