Our little Bug turned one this year and we had a food themed, Hungry Caterpillar Party.

My mom made a tissue paper puff caterpillar for the dining table.

I decorated the mantle with a caterpillar featuring the Bug’s photos, hungry caterpillar garland, and bug boxes as gifts for the kids.

If you are familiar with the book, the caterpillar eats a different food each day.  I tried to get a representative food for every day in the book.

The apples were quite easy.  I bought the pre-sliced apples from the store just to make things easier.

For pears, I got pear flavored Jelly Belly jelly beans.

For plums, I got berry flavored Jelly Belly jelly beans.

The strawberries were pretty easy and a big hit with the kids.

I used candy oranges for Friday.

On Saturday, he ate quite a bit so I had a few things to choose from. We also catered barbeque from Martin’s Barbeque for lunch.

We had a lovely caterpillar cake made by Publix.

I even put labels on the water bottles.

I went a little overboard for this event and I had to promise Cary that the subsequent events would be much more sedate.  However, I think the Bug had a great time!
