“The Very Hungry Caterpillar” Picture Book with Felt Storytelling Set – Bringing Literacy to Life Through Play

Transform storytime into a multi-sensory, engaging experience with “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” and Felt Storytelling Set, designed to inspire imagination, support early literacy, and align with the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF). This timeless picture book by Eric Carle, paired with beautifully crafted felt pieces, invites children to actively participate in retelling the story—encouraging language development, sequencing, and a love of books.

This resource is ideal for educators, families, and early learning environments seeking to promote meaningful, play-based learning through storytelling and dramatic play.

EYLF-Aligned Learning Benefits:

• Outcome 5: Children are effective communicators
  Children develop early literacy skills as they listen, recall, and retell the story using felt props. This strengthens vocabulary, comprehension, and expressive language through shared reading experiences.

• Outcome 1: Children have a strong sense of identity
  Acting out the story fosters confidence and self-expression, encouraging children to take on roles, share ideas, and connect their personal experiences with the narrative.

• Outcome 4: Children are confident and involved learners
  Engaging with the story in multiple ways—reading, handling felt pieces, sequencing events—supports critical thinking, memory, and creativity.
