The Very Hungry Caterpillar

The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a entertaining book, written by Eric Carle. It has bright colors and shows how a caterpillar grows into a butterfly. We have been reading this book to the boys since they were babies. The book teaches children how to count to five, the names of the days of the week and random food! Since they like it so much I decided we would make Caterpillar headbands and I had these great visions of them wearing them while we sat and read the fabulous book. Cute right??? I also thought it would be fun for them to feel the different textures and learn how to use glue. Not the case !!!

First, sitting still for 2 year old is never realistic what was I thinking? Second, wearing a headband with foreign objects...only stayed on for about a minute. Third, a mass explosion of pom-poms, making a HUGE mess for mom to clean up ! To this day we are still finding pom-poms around the house . Lastly, the worse part is my fat cat finds them (always during the night) and thinks he is holding a mouse and carries a pom-pom to my bedside and meows at 1 am in the morning until I get up and take it away.

Warning to all the moms out there with twins..... be ready for a mess!!! Explosion begins....

Nicolas hating the headbands.Explosion and Christian shoving them under the TV. Rocky tolerating the mass explosion of pom - poms. POOR ROCKY!!
