Mr. Caterpillar I

Parent helps child arrange colorful paper shapes to complete a caterpillar collage. The agent coaches the parent to observe how the child sorts by color, identifies shapes, and follows simple instructions — building early categorization and visual discrimination skills.

Free to do together whenever you like.

What you'll need

Parent should prepare in advance: cut out several large circles (caterpillar body) from different colored paper, plus smaller shapes (circles, triangles, squares) in matching colors. Also cut simple eyes and antennae. Tape large circles to wall in caterpillar shape. Scatter small shapes below caterpillar in random order. Have tape or reusable adhesive ready for child to use.
