caterpillar

With all of the felt scraps lying around lately, Lio and Paloma have been interested in sewing. I had seen this little idea for a caterpillar awhile ago, and it seemed like a simple way to start.

The felt circles have a little bead in between them, which allows for the caterpillar to wiggle a bit when you move him.

Lio immediately thought of Eric Carle's 'The Hungry Caterpillar' - wouldn't it be fun to plan a whole day around that book? He was most interested in eating all of the things the caterpillar ate on the Saturday - chocolate cake, ice-cream cone, pickle, swiss cheese, salami, lollipop, cherry pie, sausage, cupcake, and watermelon. Yes, we would definitely have a stomachache after that!

  1. Lio is so creative! Sounds like a delightful day.....or a fun playdate.
