A story in a box! choose your favorite story and learn it buy heart......then find simple props and a shoe box. Present to the children in group time or other times too.

The very hungry caterpillar props in a box. I made this caterpillar out of a sock! To teach children about colors,numbers and use of language this little amazing caterpillar comes in!
















I saw this caterpillar hanging down from a tree, I tookit down and put it on a book to show the children, they loved touching it.

Thanks for sharing. What a coincidence that I'm doing the same story this week. Stealing this idea!

For the food items did you just use pictures out of a magazine and laminate them?

I was just thinking you could also make these out of felt for a felt story....

I actually got the pics from the net. I think using felt is great too...its take time and a good tailor!
