Wow vs Blah Sentences

Yesterday we were practising turning boring sentences into sentences that make us go "WOW!"
We had a go at adding exciting adjectives (describing words) and verbs (doing words) into some sentences that were not very exciting to begin with.

Here is what we came up with in our pairs. 
The sentence we had to transform from blah to WOW was: 
The caterpillar eats.

The cheeky, rude caterpillar picked up a purple grape.
The fat, scrunchy caterpillar munches and nibbles, it chomps on the beautiful swan plant.
The green, stripey caterpillar nibbles the juicy, crunchy swan plant leaves.
The wet, squiggly caterpillar crunched on the wet, juicy swan plant leaf.
A cheeky caterpillar crunched on the wet, chompy leaves.
A stripey, wiggly caterpillar munched its juicy swan plant leaf.
A caterpillar munched and munched the green swan plant in one go. 
A greedy caterpillar munched on its crunchy tall swan plant. 
A bumpy caterpillar nibbled on the green juicy leaf. 
A green, greedy, squirmy, squiggly caterpillar crunches green swan plants.
