The Very Hungry Caterpillar

I found this and thought it would be extra cute for the spring time. It is making you very own caterpillar and can go along with reading the book. Not to mention it is super easy to make.
Is seems as if this woman used scrap booking paper, but you can also use construction paper or old wallpaper samples.
Materials
Circles (Various Shades of Green)
Glue Stick/Glue
Wiki Sticks or Pipe Cleaners
Markers 

Steps (You can always start with reading the book too!!)
1. Cut out 11 circles
10 in shades of green and 1 red for the head (if you have older children you can make one tracer and they can cut it out themselves)
2. The kids then will glue the circles onto a bright colored piece of construction paper overlapping each circle just a little bit.
3. Using a bright colored marker the kids will draw on legs. (the number isn't important)
4. The eyes can be made using pieces of construction paper or drawn on with marker or crayons
5. To give it the final touches add two pieces of either the wiki sticks (which will stick to the paper on their own) or pipe cleaners for antennae
