The Very Hungry Caterpillar Bakeshop Game

Ages 3+

Spot a match and ring the bell. The Very Hungry Caterpillar Bakeshop turns colourful baked treats into a lively matching game for preschoolers aged 3 and up.

Players take turns flipping over Bakeshop Cards, then race to ring the bell when a match appears. The number of treats pictured adds another opportunity for learning, with children practising counting as they explore the cards together.

Inspired by Eric Carle’s much loved classic, this Briarpatch game combines familiar artwork with simple rules for 2 to 4 players. It’s an inviting way to share a game while practising observation, quick reactions and taking turns.
