Holiday Countdown Craft

Join us in doing the Caterpillar Countdown and count down the days until your favorite holiday will arrive.

Here’s what you will need: Paper, Scissors, Markers, Glue, Wiggle Eyes and a Pipe Cleaner

Step 1: Take your paper and cut it into strips. Make sure you cut enough to have one strip to represent each day until your holiday. We will do Thanksgiving and Christmas for example.

Step 2: Get out your markers and let your children’s creativity flow! They can design each strip however they want. You could even draw things that represent what you will be doing that day! For example, a relative comes to visit on day 22 or a trip to see Santa on day 37.

Step 3: You will need your glue ready for this step. Take your first strip and bend it to make a circle. Make sure the part you colored is on the outside. Use your glue to hold your circle firmly in place.

Step 4: Take a 2nd strip and feed it through the circle you just created. This will create the links! Continue to add on links until you have one to represent everyday in your countdown.

Step 5: Take your pipe cleaner and cut it in half. These will be the antennas of your caterpillar. When you've got them where you want them, glue them into place. You can also take your wiggle eyes and glue them into place as well.

Now you have your very own Caterpillar Countdown! As each day passes you simply tear off the link that represents that day. That is how we will keep up with how many days are left to go! You can make your countdown for anything you want to. You can count down the days until a birthday or even a trip! What are you counting down the days until?

This carpet has it all! It features ten brightly colored fish that have their own number from 1-10. The fish swim atop a blue background and are surrounded by a circle of bubbles that each hold a letter of the alphabet in a fun color. The alphabet bubbles along the outside of the rug would make a perfect setting for circle time! Each student can be placed on their own bubble letter or even their own numbered fish!

The Fishing for Literacy Rectangle Carpet comes in three sizes. The smallest size measures 3 ft 10 in x 5 ft 5 in, the next size up measures 5 ft 5 in x 7 ft 8 in and the largest size measures 7 ft 8 in. x 10 ft 10 in. The great variety of sizes allows you to pick the carpet that will be just the right size for your classroom! Hurry and order the perfect carpet for your classroom while they are still in stock!
