What our experts think
The Hungry Caterpillar Playnest supports baby well and provides a place of safety from which they can explore the world around them. We found that our younger non-mobile testers particularly enjoyed sitting in it, as it enabled them to observe and interact with the older children playing. This is great as allows baby to focus their developing eyesight and learn through watching others.
Our older testers were engaged by the different sensory pictures, as the character of the Hungry Caterpillar is something they were familiar with. The bright colours and different textures encourage baby to explore with their hands and mouth, strengthening important muscles, encouraging hand-eye coordination and introducing them to cause and effect.
