I’m so happy that Amy McEntee of Eat Raise Love. sent over this adorable Very Hungry Caterpillar Party that she styled for TWO birthday girls, because it’s full of cute & clever ideas inspired by the classic children’s book! A couple of my personal favorites: DIY play dough caterpillar party favors + the most insanely awesome “fruit caterpillar” you ever did see! I mean, seriously –  what a fun & appropriate food idea for this theme. Couldn’t you just eat it all up?! ;)

 PARTY HIGHLIGHTS to look out for:

• The colorful dot pattern from the book adorning the cake, favor tags & birthday girl tees
• Giant fruit caterpillar “garnished” with famous excerpts from the book
• Play dough caterpillar favors + red apple keepsake drink cups for the kids
• Special table filled all of the Very Hungry Caterpillar’s favorite sweet and savory treats!

PARTY DETAILS, as told by Amy…

The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a classic book theme offering bright colors, loads of healthy food options for hungry toddlers, while being an easily recognizable theme.

A soft play area for the toddlers with custom caterpillar and butterfly cushions, tee-pee and ride on toys. Toddlers were entertained with caterpillar puppets, party hats, music, bubbles and coloring in.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar’s fruit filled journey was illustrated through a caterpillar made of fruit. The toddlers devoured and destroyed it – to the parents delight!

The cake table included The Very Hungry Caterpillar’s sweet and savory treats, “on Saturday he ate….. chocolate cake, ice cream, pickle, Swiss cheese, salami, lollipop, cherry pie, sausage, cupcake and watermelon.”

Unlike the caterpillars ‘tummy ache’, children took home play dough caterpillars in clear containers as a Thank You gift.

The event was held on the stunning waterfront rooftop at Watsons Bay Hotel, Sydney Australia. The catering team was creative and enthusiastic towards our ideas.
