  • Holds our 1 year kid’s attention!
The Very Hungry Caterpillar apple filled with all the delights of the story is adorable, soft, fun to take all the pieces out of, and very sturdy! Our one year old loves it. She is teething so she chews on the caterpillar, laughing as she does! It’s a big hit!

  • Just right for little hands
Bright, colorful, and soft with just the right amount of noise and you can use the pieces to tell the story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

  • My 1 Year Old Loves it!
I got this for my son's 1st birthday, it was a Very Hungry Caterpillar Party and he got lots of Caterpillar stuff. This toy is so cute! And he loves the little fruits that crinkle and squeak! They came all attached together, and I have left them that way for now (watching closely when he plays because I don't want him to eat the little plastic tags) because it's easier for him to play with them. We'll eventually detach them so he can play with them one-by-one. The colors are vibrant and the materials are soft. My baby loves this! ... show more

  • 8 MONTH OLD LOVES THIS TOY
We play with it while reading the book. Each of the fruits has a different texture, feel, sound and the baby hands me each one to then hold up to her ear. Out of stock here but can be found with a google search.
