Whiteboard Reveal Activity - The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Using the same concept as our Whiteboard Reveal activity we made a story board game to go with my girls favourite story 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' by Eric Carle. It was quick and easy to make and we can use it over and over again - perfect for a rainy day like today!

WE USED:

* paper
* markers/textas/pencils
* laminator
* whiteboard markers
* eraser/cloth
* old cloth glove
* felt
* glue

Instead of using an eraser I made the girls a 'hungry little caterpillar' of their own using a glove we got for free in the paper recently. I just cut ovals from felt and glued them along the pointer finger using craft fabric glue. Bubble used the glove caterpillar to rub out each food as we went.

I drew two storyboards and laminated them - one for the start of the story where the caterpillar hatches from his egg and the other for the end when he becomes a beautiful butterfly.

Using a whiteboard marker I coloured over the top of the laminated caterpillar card as though he was inside his egg.

While we read the story book Bubble rubbed away the egg to reveal The Very Hungry Caterpillar :-)

We used a blank laminated sheet to draw our other foods as the story went along.

Bubble loved using her caterpillar to 'eat' each one.

Some of the food the Hungry Caterpillar ate in the story. As we re read the book a few times we added our own foods - in one version he ate a tip truck and a dinosaur bone! :-D

I coloured over the butterfly card to create the cocoon for the end of the story. Bubble was really excited rubbing it away to see the butterfly underneath!
