How To Play
Rules are simple, this activity is meant to teach your little one some simple counting by making the bodies of the caterpillars with their thumbprints. Depending on your child’s skill level, you may need to demonstrate dabbing their thumb onto the ink pad and placing next to the number one. Then for the following numbers how many each one gets. Repetition is key with anything and the more you say the numbers, the better. Continue until all numbers have caterpillar bodies corresponding to the number. Finally add legs. At the end, have your little one count each thumbprint for each caterpillar to reiterate the numbers.
