The Very Hungry Caterpillar Book & Felt Pieces

Bring storytime to life with The Very Hungry Caterpillar Book & Felt Pieces-a charming resource that combines the beloved children's classic by Eric Carle with a set of colourful, interactive felt props. This set includes the original book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar (PEN9322), and coordinating felt pieces (LV2801) that attach easily to felt boards or surfaces. As children read along or listen to the story, they can use the felt pieces to retell the events, act out sequences, and engage in rich discussions about food, days of the week, counting, and the life cycle of a butterfly. This interactive storytelling experience helps build comprehension, sequencing, and oral language skills while fostering a love of books and narrative. Perfect for group story sessions or literacy corners, this resource encourages imaginative play and supports visual and kinaesthetic learners.
