Here are some fun things to make and do.
Colouring Pages
Have fun with these colouring and activity sheets based on my books What is a Peachick? and Standing on One Leg is Hard, written by Erika McGann.

Create a Paper Cut-Out Caterpillar
You will need:
• Scissors
• Coloured paper
• Pritt Stick or glue
• Pencil or crayon
• Scissors
• Coloured paper

• Pencil or crayon
I have a challenge for you: no drawing outlines - cut the shapes freehand!
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.
Tip: You could even try tearing the paper instead of cutting. Use any colours you like. Maybe your caterpillar will look totally different from Henri. What will you call it? What adventures will they go on?
