About This Product
Birth & up. Bring a beloved storybook character to life with The Very Hungry Caterpillar Plush. This soft, colorful plush companion gives young learners a hands-on way to connect with Eric Carle's classic story while supporting sensory exploration, imaginative play, and early literacy experiences. Its familiar design makes it an engaging addition to story time, classroom libraries, reading centers, and quiet play areas.
The plush features varied textured components that encourage tactile exploration as children touch, hold, squeeze, and cuddle the caterpillar. Pairing a storybook character with read-aloud activities can help children make stronger connections between spoken language, pictures, and familiar characters while encouraging listening, vocabulary development, sequencing, and story recall.
Measuring 10" long, The Very Hungry Caterpillar Plush is easy for little hands to hold during shared reading and pretend play. The soft plush is also machine washable, making it practical for repeated use in early childhood classrooms, childcare environments, libraries, and at home.

The size of the toy appears large in the photo but is actually quite small. It is 10” long x 2” wide. The picture of the child holding the toy is very misleading. However, it appears well made and I’m sure my grandson will like it. But for the price, my expectations were it was larger.
