- Create a Handprint Caterpillar Class Sign
- Create an Accordion Style Caterpillar Card
Make a Thank you card for the class by cutting out large green circles and then cut out smaller circles with their personal pictures on them. The same head in on both the card and the class sign. If you don’t have time to get a picture made of each child, just have each student draw a self portrait.

While you’re present the book basket and listening to the Class Caterpillar Book you can enjoy a little caterpillar snack. Cupcakes shaped like a caterpillar are fun! You can also create a caterpillar from sandwiches. You can retell the story by cutting up fruit and poking holes into the fruit just like the story using straw.

What a lucky teacher! Great ideas!
Thanks! We really had a good time and the kids loved doing this together for their teacher.
Thanks Deborah! And thanks for pinning this party! It's a great idea for interns too which is who we used this party for. A great way to build up a new teacher's classroom.
