Picture this: your child walks into the classroom on Book Week morning wearing a bright teal-and-yellow striped caterpillar costume, bobble antennae bouncing with every step. This Kids Caterpillar Costume is a two-piece set — a dimensional tunic with seven yellow bands and red dots, plus a sculptural hood with eyestalks on wired stems. Lightweight polyester with a slight sheen and padded segmented effect.

What's in the Box

Caterpillar head hood with bobble antennae and red eye details
Sleeveless tunic (tabard style) with yellow bands, red circular accents, and darker green trim

Perfect for Book Week, school insect-themed dress-up days, and garden party character parades. The open-sided tunic goes on over your child's own black long-sleeve top and pants (not included), so they stay comfy all day. Great for nature study unit performances, World Book Day, or any storybook caterpillar character moment.

Parent FAQs

What size should I order?

The tunic is designed to be loose and forgiving — it sits mid-thigh on most school-age kids. If your child is between sizes or you want extra room for layering, size up. The hood adjusts at the back neck.

Can they wear this over regular clothes?

Yes — that's the whole idea. Pop it over a black long-sleeve tee and black leggings or pants (which you supply), and you're done. No full bodysuit wrestling required.

Care: Spot clean or gentle cold hand wash; hang to dry. Keep eyestalk wires gently bent for storage.
