About this game

It begins with a tiny egg. Tap it and marvel as it hatches into a Very Hungry Caterpillar. Can you find him some food to eat?

Eric Carle’s much-loved character, The Very Hungry Caterpillar™, has won the hearts of millions of children around the world for more than 50 years. Equally My Very Hungry Caterpillar app has been enthralling and teaching new generations of children in this award-winning toddler-friendly game. With over 6 million downloads to date this multi-award winning app has now been fully updated for this special 5th anniversary release.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar loves food and fun. Feed him, play with him, and make sure to tuck him up under his cosy leaf so he gets plenty of rest. The more the caterpillar grows the more new activities you unlock. Grow flowers, sort shapes, paint pictures, pick fruit, go sailing alongside cute rubber ducks and goldfish. You can even hunt for buried treasure with him. Push him on a swing. Have fun playing together. Help him explore, pick him up, or take a peek into his colorful toy box.

If you care for him, the caterpillar turns into a cocoon. Tap it and help transform him into a beautiful butterfly.

Then do it all again when a new egg appears.

It's a world of beauty and color you'll return to again and again.

One of the first apps I ever purchased, and well worth it. We've had it for years and it's kept our kids busy to no end! Love how the seasons change. Well thought out and easy to use. Lovely relaxing music; calm and engaging. There's the odd stubborn piece of fruit (one particularly frustrating coconut!) my kids get annoyed with because they won't budge from the trees. Would be good if you could save copies of the art canvases. I'd love to see some updates. Overall, very good value.

Best toddler game. This is a beautiful game for 1-5 year olds. The graphics are well done and in the style of the book. My 3 year old loves this game to bits and gets excited watching the caterpillar eat. You definitely NEED to pay for it or use play pass to make the game worthwhile because most interactables are locked and would cause a lot of frustration when toddlers can't use them. Id love to see more content added with more activities!!

My 3-year-old is crazy about this game. I thought he would lose interest fast since it's pretty simple but he kept asking for it. I upgraded to the full version and feel like $7CAD was a bit much for such a simple game but he's pretty thrilled with the new stuff. It actually unlocks more new content than you'd expect, because there are some surprises like different treasure to dig up each day on the island. Plus some of the new interactions are pretty cute and it keeps your caterpaintings!
