There are 5 colour-coded squares with matching question words: orange-Who?, yellow-What doing?, brown- When?, cloud shape - What like? (How many?), green - What?.

There are 3 different 4-part colour coded sentence strips with pairs of colour-coded pictures to match as follows: 2 subjects (caterpillar, I ), 2 actions (ate, see), 7 days of the week, 8 number cards, 12 object cards.

The visual resources are used to describe pages from the Hungry Caterpillar book and to compare 2 pictures using the words ‘more’ and ‘fewer’.

The visual resources and an A4 laminated page of tips fit into an A4 popper bag, labelled with a brown parcel tag for convenient storage and portability.
