MAKING A CATEPILLAR TO EAT AT SCHOOL.

Today we are going to make a caterpillar that we can let children make all by themselves, without getting hurt at all, and they can have a lot of fun. We can ask the class to bring the ingredients to school and then the whole class can make them each one. It can be their lunch when they are finished after having a lot of fun.

The ingredients we are going to need will be, bread, cheese, ham, butter and some red tomatoes, small ones.

 ingredients

2 loaves white bread, sliced vertically (you will need 12 slices)

butter 

6 slices ham

6 slices chicken

6 slices cheese

1 small tomato

1 green onion stalk (or you can also use celery)

You will also need:toothpicks

Use some long onion stalks to connect the caterpillars.

You will have to also have a coockie maker to make the round little body for the caterpillar

Maybe they can work in a group and all get something to do.

Once the have put butter on the bread they must put the ham on.

Remember that the bread must be verticily sliced  and then used to make the caterpillar.

Now we can butter the bread and add the ham or whatever they want, put the other slice on top and cut them out with your coockie cutter.

You can now put them together with a long onion leaf and form your catepillar.

Put the tomato on as the head, and cut some little eyes from cheese.

Put some onion on the cheese to make them look like eyes and then give it some feelers with your pieces of onion.

Children will love doing this, and I think they would like eating it even more as it is something they made themselves.

I really hope you will enjoy making these and have a wonderful day from me.
