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.

We loved this app! no ads not even on the free version. complete offline no wifi needed. payed $5 to have the full version unlocked. There is no subscription or any other money grabs in the game, it is just that one $5 purchase. It was definitely worth it. But today we opened the app and the full version is greyed out and it's just the free version again. When I try to restore my purchase it gives an error code. huge bummer. Still a cute game. I wish it still worked as intended.

lovely little game which runs smoothly, is very relaxing and calms me down whenever im stressed, and is so nostalgic! you get a lot of things to start off with but, of course, there are some in-app purchases which i have and are definitely worth their prices. i 1000% recommend for young children or anybody who relates to the above. its so satisfying to see your caterpillar when it is a baby, then take care of it and see it grow up and progress into a beautiful butterfly.

I downloaded this game on my daughter's Pixel tablet she absolutely loved it. So we did what any parent would do and bought the full game as she was loving it. Shortly after spending the £4.99 to unlock the full game for her about a week later it locks everything again and won't let us restore the purchase. Daughter is not amused and neither are we.
