Now, this is something I totally adore! I would be shocked if any parent has never heard of The Very Hungry Caterpillar (written by Eric Carle), as it has proven to be a very popular and classic children’s book. It is a wonderful book to read your child, and they will be filled with delight, no matter how many times it is read. My own children love this book so much, and knew all the words by the time they were two years old! It tells of the very simple story of a caterpillar eating his way through a variety of foods, becoming bigger all the time, until he turns into a butterfly. The artwork is glorious, with wonderful jewel-like colours capturing any child. So I was so excited to hear about a range of The Very Hungry Caterpillar tableware and gifts by Portmeition – absolutely stunning and delightful!
While caterpillars can be a nuisance in the garden, their sweet images are a treat for children (and adults) at anytime. But to have these images at mealtimes, I am sure any child will be more than happy to polish off any meal! The very Hungry Caterpillar range by portmeition, depicts adorable images from this classic children’s book, hosting a range of tableware to gifts. Guaranteed to bring a smile to your child’s face!
From plates to double handed mugs, to egg cups and cushioned lap trays, I feel any of these products would make a truly wonderful gifts for any young child. I absouletly love the Cookie Jar! Portmeirion’s Very Hungry Caterpillar Cookie Jar (£21.00) is a great children’s storage jar for bits and bobs as well as cookies. It is bright and bold, and kids will be delighted to eat cookies from it - not to mention the adults!
