The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Much of my time of late has been creating Storybook characters for a 'Yarn Art' Event in our local Community!

Our group including our local community centres, local primary schools, our earth carer's garden and our local aged care residents, have been working towards this goal.
 
I have been working with the primary school my boy's attended and we chose 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar'. Along with out main characters, we have also created, the food the caterpillar eats his way through, and the cocoon. All of these will form a trail from the school past our elderly friends and then onto our local park.

Other school and organisations are recreating, in yarn and other bits, characters from the books; The Rainbow Fish', 'Alice in Wonderland' & 'The Lorax'.

Our event is running through October to Celebrate Seniors Month. Also during October is Children's week, which is when our food trail will be installed. The Children from the primary school will then follow the trail with a special program designed by the teachers, for a bit of fun and learning!
