Our Measuring My Caterpillar Craft is an engaging and hands-on art activity that will challenge your students to use their knowledge of using informal units to measure.

Students will make and measure their caterpillars using an informal unit of measure, such as Unifix blocks, counters or paperclips. They can record their measurements on the recording slip.

We have included both craft and worksheet option to suit the needs of your class. If students complete the craft template, they can also work on their fine motor skills as they cut and glue all the required components. To complete this craft activity you will need coloured cardstock, scissors, glue and craft supplies, such as pipe cleaners, googly eyes and pom poms.

A banner as also been included with the craft so that you can create an engaging and educational display in your classroom once the activity is complete.

We recommend enlarging the backing templates to A3 to provide ample space for your students’ caterpillars.
