Our Review

This charming activity book brings Eric Carle's iconic collage art style to a hands-on format, inviting young artists to personalize 24 different hat and crown designs featuring the beloved Very Hungry Caterpillar and other familiar characters. Each page offers bold, clear outlines perfect for coloring, with sturdy paper that holds up well to crayons, markers, and colored pencils. The designs range from simple caterpillar-themed crowns to more elaborate creations, providing progressive challenges as children develop their fine motor skills and color recognition abilities.

What sets this apart from standard coloring books is how it transforms art time into imaginative playβ€”once colored, each page becomes wearable art that children can cut out and assemble with simple folding. The inclusion of easy-to-follow instructions empowers young creators to make their own dress-up accessories, extending the creative experience beyond just coloring. Parents and educators will appreciate how this activity naturally builds scissor skills and spatial awareness while keeping children engaged in open-ended play. It's the kind of book that doesn't just sit on a shelf but becomes part of a child's creative world, with finished creations that prompt storytelling and role-playing adventures.
