Hungry Caterpillar Counting Lesson

One of our most favorite books is The Very Hungry! It's an excellent to learn how to count, and it is also an excellent book to learn sign language!

I did a 5 day mini lesson on counting with Harry. Each day we read and reviewed the old pages and a different page in the book the corresponded to the day. (ex.: Monday- 1) We then painted on paper what page we learned and practiced counting. I helped Harry paint the correct amount of fruit the caterpillar ate each day.

**Note: A young toddler's art project is NOT going to be spotless or perfect. It will be messy, but that is ok! It's makes it more unique. It's all about learning.**

Harry's book cover


Monday:
We read up what the caterpillar ate on Monday. I held Harry's hand and helped him paint an apple.


Tuesday:
We read up until what the caterpillar ate on Tuesday, and I held Harry's hand to paint. We reviewed Tuesday's page after.


Wednesday:
Again, we read up until what the caterpillar ate on Wednesday and painted the amount on paper. We reviewed Wednesday's again afterwards.


Thursday:
Again, we read up until what the caterpillar ate on Thursday and painted it on paper. We reviewed Thursday's page after we were done.


Friday:
We read the entire book today! Afterwards, I helped Harry paint Friday's page on his paper. We reviewed Friday's page after and reread the book.
