Here are some cute caterpillar songs and poems I’ve been teaching my bugs while we’ve been observing and learning about our caterpillars.

Caterpillar, Caterpillar

by C. Richard Miles

Caterpillar, caterpillar, crawl, crawl, crawl;

Don’t fall off the garden wall.

Caterpillar, caterpillar, eat, eat, eat;

Grow so fat on your furry feet.

Caterpillar, caterpillar, rest, rest, rest;

Soon you’ll change to be the best.

Caterpillar, caterpillar, try, try, try;

One day you’ll be the best butterfly.

The Fuzzy Caterpillar

(to the tune of “Itsy Bitsy Spider”)

The fuzzy, little caterpillar

Curled up on a leaf,

Spun her little chrysalis

And then fell fast asleep.

While she was sleeping

She dreamed that she could fly,

And later when she woke up

She was a butterfly!

 

The Butterfly Song

(to the tune of “Up on the Housetop”)

First comes a butterfly and lays an egg,
Out comes a caterpillar with many legs,
Oh see the caterpillar spin and spin,
A little chrysalis to sleep in.

Oh, oh ,oh wait and see
oh oh oh wait and see
Out of the chrysalis,my oh my
out comes a pretty butterfly.
