Very Hungry Caterpillar Inspired First Birthday Theme

With our family’s love for all things Eric Carle books and especially for the Very Hungry Caterpillar, I wanted to share these party ideas for a fabulous Very Hungry Caterpillar party. Now, I know I’ve also said before- we don’t really believe in making a big deal out of the first birthday party. Especially because, it usually ends up being more for the parents. However, for the guests (adults) or as your child gets older? This Very Hungry Caterpillar inspired birthday theme is sure to be a memorable favorite. Gender Neutral Birthday Party Ideas One of the reasons that the Very Hungry Caterpillar is so appealing for a birthday party? It can be entirely gender neutral. It’s not pink, it’s not blue.

Home decor is something we all feel very passionate about, in our own little ways. Some of us like bright and bold colors, whilst some of us prefer the pale and pastel side of life. Either way, we have some strong things to say about the ways our walls are painted! But if you’re someone who does enjoy the neutral colors and tones of life, now’s your chance to go all out with your interior decoration. After all, it can be quite hard to get these tones to work in harmony, and you can never be quite sure if you’re overdoing it.

As parents, we hope that we are teaching our kids the right things. But what does that really mean? Are we teaching them to stand up for themselves, to stand up for others?

Part of being a good parent is teaching your kids to be good people, and the best way to do this is be setting an example. When your kids see that you are doing the things that “good people” do, they will automatically catch on. You don’t have to be Super Woman, or Mother Teresa, you just have to practice responsibility, kindness, compassion and caring. Depending on your own beliefs about what it means to be…
