Interactive Character from a Classic Storybook
The star of the show is an amazing 3D version of The Very Hungry Caterpillar, brought to life with warmth, charm, and vibrant animation inspired by Eric Carle’s iconic hand-painted collage style. Watch as the caterpillar wiggles, explores, and reacts to every tap with lifelike curiosity.
Play, Learn, and Grow Together
This is more than just a game—it’s a nurturing and educational journey. Feed your caterpillar delicious fruits, push him on a swing, explore his toy box, or even take him on a sailing adventure with adorable rubber ducks and goldfish. As your caterpillar grows, new activities and environments unlock—including flower gardens, shape-sorting games, painting, and even treasure hunts.
A Gentle Introduction to Care and Responsibility
Kids learn valuable nurturing skills as they care for their caterpillar. Make sure he’s fed, happy, and well-rested under his cozy leaf. Eventually, the caterpillar spins into a cocoon—and with your child’s help, transforms into a beautiful butterfly. The cycle of life continues with the arrival of a new egg, encouraging children to return and play again.
