On Monday, he ate through one apple. On Tuesday… he ate through your child’s snack box. Bring a true storybook classic to life with The Very Hungry Caterpillar costumes from Smiffys — perfect for World Book Day, school book week, nursery dress-up days and any occasion that calls for something colourful, cute and instantly recognisable.
Inspired by Eric Carle’s beloved book, these costumes are bright, comfy and designed with little ones in mind. Easy to wear, easy to move in and guaranteed to get an “aww” from teachers, parents and anyone who’s ever read the book more than 400 times.
Whether your child is crawling, toddling or confidently marching into the classroom like a literary legend, a Hungry Caterpillar costume is a stress-free win. No complicated accessories, no face paint drama — just a classic book character costume that everyone recognises straight away.
At Smiffys, we believe fancy dress should be fun, fuss-free and just a little bit educational. Bonus points if it encourages reading… and snacks.
