The Very Hungry Caterpillar- FREE Download

This spring we have been all things seasons & insects.  First we worked with the letter 's' & then the letter 'i' so it was a perfect opportunity to talk about the spring and bugs.  Two of the books we worked with the most were James and the Giant Peach, for Dutch, and The Very Hungry Caterpillar, for Ellis.  Each child had their own book with very similar content but at differing cognitive levels.  Since The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a little basic for Dutch, I made these handwriting cards for him to work on while I was reading the book with Ellis.  I want to share these cards with you for FREE today :-)
To access the download, click here.  I printed these cards off, laminated, cut & put them on a ring so that we could flip through them quickly.  While I was reading the book with Ellis during our morning basket time, I got Dutch to write the number words & digits with a dry erase marker. 
Once he wrote the numbers, I got him to place butterfly erasers in the correct number of circles.  Sometimes I got him to use a fine motor tool to place the correct number of pom poms over the caterpillar circles.  Ellis is not to handwriting just yet, but she could place the pom poms in the circles.  This turned out to be a really fun activity for both kids.  It also allowed me to give Dutch independent work while I was reading with Ellis.

He is a Liar

This song has been on repeat in my head for a couple months now.  It's a season that I'm in where I need to be reminded that I'm not as shameful & broken as the enemy wants me to believe.  If you're in a place where you think like this, play this song over & over again, until the lies the enemy tells you are completely drowned out of your mind.

When he told you you’re not good enough

When he told you you’re not right

When he told you you’re not strong enough

To put up a good fight

When he told you you’re not worthy

When he told you you’re not loved

When he told you you’re not beautiful

That you’ll never be enough

Fear he is a liar

He will take your breath

Stop you in your steps

Fear he is a liar

He will rob your rest

Steal your happiness

Cast your fear in the fire

Cause fear he is a liar

When he told you were troubled

You’ll forever be alone

When he told you you should run away

You’ll never find a home

When he told you you were dirty

And you should be ashamed

When he told you you could be the one

That grace could never change

Fear he is a liar

He will take your breath

Stop you in your steps

Fear he is a liar

He will rob your rest

Steal your happiness

Cast your fear in the fire

Cause fear he is a liar

Let Your fire fall and cast out all my fears

Let Your fire fall Your love is all I feel

Fear he is a liar

He will take your breath

Stop you in your steps

Fear he is a liar

He will rob your rest

Steal your happiness

Cast your fear in the fire

Cause fear he is a liar
