    The Hungry Caterpillar is full
    of a certain shape as he
    keeps on munching through
    everything! Do you know why
    the holes he leaves are like

    Talking Together

    How many
    circles can you
    find on each page?
    Talking Together
    The front pages of the Hungry Caterpillar are full of circles.
    Could you make your own pages? How many circles would there be
    on yours? Does yours make a pattern? Think how you could make
    this more interesting.
    Lots of other story books have hidden patterns in the front
    covers. Can you find any more in your stories at home?
    What kind of pattern are they?
    Reception

    Patterns in Art
    Eric Carle used circles in his
    work in this book but many
    famous paintings have pattern
    themes.
    Talking Together
    A famous artist called
    Kandinsky used circles to
    inspire him to paint this
    picture. What do you
    notice about the circles?
    Could you create your own
    art with circles. Or any
    other shape?
    Reception

    Specific collections
    Have a look around your
    house to find a specific shape
    and make a collection. You
    could start with circles.
    Make your own modern art
    display!
    Reception

    Talking Together
    How can you arrange your objects to look the best. Discuss with
    your grown ups how you have done it. Where do you put the
    biggest, smallest? What position are they in?
    Can you describe them by their properties?

    Uses familiar objects and common shapes to create and recreate patterns and build models.
    Early Learning Goal –Shape Space and Measure
    Children use everyday language to talk about size, weight, capacity, position, distance, time and money to compare
    quantities and objects and to solve problems. They recognise, create and describe patterns.
    They explore characteristics of everyday objects and shapes and use mathematical language to describe them.
