The Very Hungry Caterpillar Storytime:
During the activity, here are some open-ended discussion topics:
1. Why did the caterpillar have a stomachache after eating all the junk food but felt better after eating a healthy green leaf?
2. Discuss the different kinds of healthy fruits that you added to the parfait.
4. How can eating lots of healthy fruits help you grow big and tall just like the caterpillar?
