PRODUCT DETAILS
What's in the Box
- Bright green striped tabard with six felt caterpillar feet
- Red headpiece with purple antennae and velcro chin closure
This Adult The Very Hungry Caterpillar Costume brings Eric Carle's beloved storybook character to life in a simple pullover tabard. Horizontal bands of green, teal, and lime mirror the book's painterly collage-art style, with six orange-brown felt feet attached to the sides for instant recognition.
The tabard slips on over regular clothes — crew neckline, open sides, knee-length fit. Red plush headpiece features purple antennae, multicolored circular eyes, and secures with a velcro tab under the chin. Lightweight fabric sits comfortably over a long-sleeve white top and black leggings for all-day wear.
Perfect For
Book Week & School Dress-Up Days: A natural pick for Book Week 2025, storybook character parades, or Children's Book Day events celebrating Eric Carle's classic.
Teacher & Educator Events: Ideal for teachers dressing up for literacy week, school concerts, kindy storytelling sessions, or library celebration days.
Themed Parties & Halloween: Works brilliantly for storybook-themed costume parties, Halloween with a literary twist, or any event celebrating children's literature favorites.
How to Wear It
Layer over a white long-sleeve tee and black leggings or pants for the classic look shown. Comfortable sneakers or black flats complete the outfit. Skip accessories — the felt feet and antennae headpiece carry the character.
