Our spotlight book of the week is "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle. This book is celebrating its 50th Anniversary! " The Very Hungry Caterpillar" is a great book to introduce or reinforce beginning counting skills. Here is an activity to try with your little one.

Activity: Cut out the different foods mentioned in the book. Have your child use a hole punch to punch out the approriate nume of bites in each piece of food. For example: In the apple, your child would punch out one hole. etc. This activity reinforces counting and helps with motor skills ( using the hole punch). (CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.CC.A.1)
