Getting Hungry?
Take a Bite of Fun
Kids can join Caterpillar and Butterfly on a journey full of imagination, growth, and play through our whimsical character climbers.
Constructed of glass fiber reinforced polymer, these 30” climbers are low maintenance, UV-stable, and lightweight yet durable—making them an easy way to add a touch of creativity to any play space. Each climber is available in two paint options: Classic with traditionally playful coloring, or Deluxe with Eric Carle’s signature style.
Caterpillar
Just like kids, Caterpillar craves adventure! Poised for action, this charming climber allows kids to satisfy their appetites for fun by exploring and connecting across its arched design.
Butterfly
All that eating transformed Caterpillar into Butterfly! Perched atop a flower, Butterfly’s bright wings are outstretched, inviting kids to climb aboard for their next adventure—after all, growing up doesn’t mean the fun has to end!
