We created this The Very Hungry Caterpillar Fruit Snack to celebrate the 45th anniversary of Eric Carle’s most famous book! We were recently contacted by The World Of Eric Carle to help promote their Very Hungry Caterpillar Contest and we are very excited to be a part of it!
My boys have always loved all of the Eric Carle books. They are timeless classics and it’s hard to believe that this year they are celebrating the 45th anniversary of The Very Hungry Caterpillar!
Caterpillar Fruit Art For Kids
We love creating fun fruit art and easy to make fruit animals and insects. It is a great way to get the kids imaginations and creativity flowing and this is a perfect way to get your little ones to try new foods! We used different fruits in this caterpillar to give different textures, colors and tastes.
