After reading Eric Carle's book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, the first grade students had a great time creating caterpillars out of recycled egg cartons. The students learned that you do not need to buy expensive materials in order to make art. In fact, some of the best art materials may be lying in your recycling bin or trash can!
I was totally planning to do this with my Kindergarten students next fall! I have tons of egg cartons and thought I was pretty smart for thinking of very hungry caterpillars. Looks great!
