15 The Very Hungry Caterpillar Activities

Updated on by | 1 Comment

The Very Hungry Caterpillar has to be one of the most classic kids book ever and I’ve yet to find a kid that doesn’t love it!

It’s also a book that’s really popular with parents, schools and preschools following the EYFS – I know that both my kids have ‘studied’ it at different times (does a three year old study a book?

These The Very Hungry Caterpillar activities are all fun, cute and perfect for kids – which one is your favourite?

I thought this Miffy small world would give them the chance to ‘play gardening’ inside and hurray because they loved it!
