Eric Carle’s The Very Hungry Caterpillar is one of those books nearly every classroom keeps on repeat. The bright collage illustrations and simple, satisfying story of transformation make it perfect for PreK through 2nd grade, and it pairs naturally with an art project, a life cycle lesson, or just a cozy read-aloud.
After the read-aloud, this simple drawing and writing printable gives students a chance to reflect on the story in their own words. It is designed to pair with the caterpillar art project so many teachers already do alongside the book, giving that craft a written component too.

What’s Inside
– 2-page drawing and writing template
– Space for students to illustrate their own caterpillar or butterfly
– Simple writing prompts to reflect on the story
– Great for PreK through 3rd grade (works especially well in Kindergarten)
It is a quick, low-prep way to add a literacy component to a lesson your students already love. Grab the Very Hungry Caterpillar Drawing & Writing Activity on TPT for just $0.99.
