The Very Hungry Caterpillar has become an iconic book and there wouldn’t be too many children who haven’t read and enjoyed it. It is lovely and interactive on it’s own, but there are so many beautiful products available that help bring this story to life and promote creative ways to tell the caterpillar’s story. These are just a few of our favourite things:
Loopy Loo’s

Fair Go Trading
The Very Hungry Caterpillar with Fair Trade Hand Puppets
Price: $39.95 + delivery
Eric Carle’s modern classic, The Very Hungry Caterpillar is available at Fair Go Trading as a set of three — the book, the caterpillar and the beautiful butterfly.
The story teaches counting to 5, the names of the days of the week, and about different types of food. The caterpillar’s diet is a fictional fantasy but the story does introduce the splendour of the metamorphosis from egg to caterpillar to butterfly. It is widely regarded as one of the best children’s books ever written.
The two fair trade hand puppets are hand made by artisans in Bangladesh.
Caterpillar Hand Puppet Length: Size: 36cm
Butterfly Hand Puppet: Size 26cm
