As part of our summer theme we have been learning about bugs and insects. And this week we made these caterpillar sandwiches! They are perfect to use throughout the summer as part of your picnics, and a great way to introduce your students to different sandwich fillings.
In this blog post I’m going to be sharing instructions for how you can make these caterpillar sandwiches too.. Along with my favorite cookery must-haves for the classroom. You’ll also find links to more bugs and insect activities too.
