dc.description	Objective: Our objective is for the children to not only hear and see the story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar, but too also have it at the reach of their hands. The teacher will put her arm through the caterpillar and the caterpillar will 'cat' the corresponding food items as the story is read to the children. The caterpillar is open from both ends so the teacher can place the food inside the caterpillar. The story will truly come alive. Once it is time for the caterpillar to go inside the cocoon, the teacher will place the caterpillar inside and pull out a beautiful butterfly from the cocoon when the story indicates to do so. The cocoon is big enough to hold the materials in and has an opening at the top to do so. Purpose: Anyone can read a book to a child or children, but this time the child can follow along by using the materials or the teacher can have an assistant to follow her with the materials that are provided. The teacher can read as another person acts out the storyline with the actual pieces. This is a great activity for individuals, small group or large groups. Ages: 3-5	en
