As promised, here are the photos from the Very Hungry Caterpillar Birthday Party! All of the kids and adults had a blast.
The food was centered around what the caterpillar ate in the story-including the dessert table which included a cherry pie, cupcakes in ice cream cones, and of course, chocolate cake (shaped like a giant caterpillar)!
I also designed little tags to go in front of all of the food so the guests understood the food choices.
The centerpieces also played off of what the caterpillar ate. I filled small sand buckets with foam and stuck a large lollipop and smaller lollipops around the base with Trix cereal (to look like the dots in the book) and gummy worms. By the end of the night the kids had devoured them!
Around the party I created these balloon formations by attaching eyes and the balloons to each other to create giant caterpillars.
Even the bouncy was a GIANT Caterpillar!
The birthday girl wore a beautiful Hungry Caterpillar print dress and caterpillar barrette purchased from Etsy.
As favors, the kids took home glow-in-the dark firefly necklaces purchased from Oriental Trading. Everyone ate and had a good time before fluttering away!
