How To Draw A One Little Caterpillar Christmas Tree!

This is a simple drawing and colouring activity I made for my grade 3 students. The children love to watch it and draw the tree, and pause when they need to. It’s based on my design of The One Little Caterpillar illustration. The video isn’t the best in adults’ eyes, but my students love it, especially when I tell them that I made it. It inspires them to ask questions on how I did it, and perhaps how they could make a film.
