A Party That Would Make Eric Carle Proud: The Very Hungry Caterpillar Birthday

Welcome to The Very Hungry Caterpillar party! A rainy forecast forced mama to move this party indoors — but everything turned out fabulous despite the weather. The Summer-picnic-inspired color palette of the party table brightened up the space — and even though it was chilly and wet outside, everyone had a blast inside!

What a setup! Guests small and big alike enjoyed the fruit, snacks, and delicious themed cake that were available for consumption. The lemonade — served with colorful vintage straws — was also a huge hit with the kids!

Can you tell the birthday girl was delighted? This little caterpillar was all smiles on her birthday, and she just couldn't stop marveling at all the whimsical caterpillar-themed goodies — like her dazzling birthday cake!

Sure, there was already a whimsical themed cake on hand, but that didn't stop this mama from baking her own sweet goodies for the special occasion. This cupcake-baking mama substituted lemonade for water in her cupcake recipe to give them a deliciously sweet flavor.

Thanks for stopping by! Each child received a little container of "caterpillar food" — aka M&M's! — to take home after the festivities had ended. Inexpensive tins with a custom caterpillar sticker made unique little favors holders.
