The Very Hungry Caterpillar

These caterpillars were made with painted egg cartons.  The features were cut out from paper the kids had painted.

My favorite parts of this bulletin board are the leaves.  They were made by dipping paper in melted crayon.  The  crayons were melted on a piece of foil on a warming tray.  I always love the way the colors blend in melted crayon projects.  The kids used a paper punch to make the holes where the caterpillars ate the leaves (some were hungrier than other :)
