Description

The Very Hungry Caterpillar: Interactive Story Set

Bring the childhood classic to life with this fully interactive 3D-printed set! After extensive testing to get the textures and tolerances just right, I’m excited to share a model that isn't just for display—it's for storytelling.

 

Of course best to print the whole set with AMS but I have giving you the single option so you can paint it afterwards. The cocoon also has a colour swap plate.

 

The cocoon features a custom-threaded design, allowing it to unscrew so you can hide the butterfly inside. It’s a satisfying, tactile way to "transform" your caterpillar into a butterfly!

What’s Included:

  • The Very Hungry Caterpillar: Articulated and "wiggly" just like the book.
  • The Chunky Caterpillar: The sturdier, "well-fed" version
  • The Cocoon: A two-part threaded container for the ultimate "big reveal."
  • The Butterfly: Designed to capture the iconic multi-colour "tissue paper" aesthetic.
