THE all-time classic picture book, from generation to generation, sold somewhere in the world every 30 seconds! Have you shared it with a child or grandchild in your life?

“The very hungry caterpillar literally eats his way through the pages of the book—and right into your child’s heart…”
—Mother’s Manual

“Gorgeously illustrated, brilliantly innovative…”
—The New York Times Book Review

So without ado – grab those craft supplies, follow our full tutorial below and get ready to make some own one-of-a-kind caterpillar pieces with your child today! Then sit down for some story time afterwards and make memories that will last forever! Happy crafting, my friends!!!
