Caterpillars
Caterpillars creep, caterpillars crawl.
Caterpillar can be big, or they can be small.
Caterpillars tickle when they wiggle across my toes.
Caterpillars, please don't sit upon my nose.
Achoo!

Copy the Monarch butterfly coloring page on orange card stock, cut them out and attach them to black or brown poster board strips to fit the kids heads; then they're little butterflies. Find the pattern at this website: http://www.kidzone.ws/animals/monarch_color.htm
