Big Papier-mâché Caterpillars and Bugs
For my sister’s pre-pandemic baby shower a few years ago I made a bunch of Eric Carle-inspired Very Hungry Caterpillars. They were made from “bleeding” color tissue paper, watered down Elmer’s glue, and wire. There were a lot of steps to the process, but the whole thing worked out very close to how I imagined it, which if you make a lot of stuff, you know that’s kind of rare! Below is a step-by-step process for making the ‘pillars.

Founding Fathers on very hungry caterpillars
All from FOUNDERS ONLINE, National Archives' National Historical Publications and Records Commission.
John Adams on very hungry caterpillars:
Having met naturalist Pierre Lyonnet, John Adams wrote to wife Abigail of his fascination with caterpillars:
Have you an Inclination to read and inspect Cutts of the Anatomy of Caterpillars—their Nerves, Blood, Juices, Bones, Hair, Senses, Intellects &c. &c.—Their moral Sense, their Laws, Government, Manners and Customs. I dont know whether he [Lyonnet] teaches the manner of destroying them, and Saving the Apple tree. I doubt not the Book is worth studying. All Nature is so.—But I have too much to do, to Study Men, and their mischievous Designs upon Apple Trees and other Things... (letter from John to Abigail, July 25, 1782).
Thomas Jefferson on very hungry caterpillars:
a caterpillar is devouring the crops of latter wheat Southwestwardly of us, and as far as this river. I have not heard of it further N. Eastwardly. it eats off the whole foliage, it also attacks the corn & tobacco, & indeed the weeds of various kinds. (letter from Jefferson to Madison, May 30 1806).
Ben Franklin on very hungry caterpillars:
We hear from several Parts of the Country, that infinite Multitudes of black Worms or Caterpillars coming out of the Earth, threaten Destruction to the late promising Crops of Corn and Grass; large Fields being in a Day or two cut down and devoured by them, and the Ground laid bare. (from Franklin's Gazette, May 27, 1742).

The Very Hung Caterpillar
This one always takes me back...
We all love surprise and innovation, something new and unique, but sometimes things just work perfectly and are most beautiful by virtue of their simplicity. For over 50 years, and through multiple iterations, from the original to a lift-the-flap version, to bilingual versions in over 17 languages, "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" (1967) by beloved duo Bill Martin, Jr. and Eric Carle, has charmed children and parents with its repetitive refrain familiar to so many of us. Carle's incredible illustrations of colourful animals, slightly different from one edition to the next (a grey mouse appeared in the 1970 version, as did a pink elephant, and it wasn't until 1984 that a teacher took the place of the monkey at the end) have kept toddlers poring over its pages for decades, and likely will for the foreseeable future. A lovely staple that belongs on every baby's shelf. ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ #noodlenutsclassickidlit #brownbearbrownbearwhatdoyousee #brownbearbrownbear #billmartinjr #ericcarle #ericcarlebooks #ericcarlemuseum #ericcarleinspired #billmartinjrbooks #brownbear #toddlerbooks #rhymes #learningcolors #magicofchildhood #preschoolteacher #picturebook #childrensclassics #littlebookworm #growingreaders #preschoolreaders https://www.instagram.com/p/B84YeRfHAAX/?igshid=lhou8n1rou3x
