THE VERY HUNGRY CATERPILLAR IS COMING TO THE LEXICON THIS HALF TERM..

From Saturday 11 to Sunday 19 February, The Lexicon, will host a fabulous interactive trail based on Eric Carle’s best-selling children’s book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

Following the same journey of the caterpillar from egg to butterfly, visitors will wind their way through an assortment of larger-than-life fruit sculptures (starting at Waitrose and finishing in Princess Square), a cosy chrysalis and a beautiful butterfly, all based on artwork from the famous book.  

Visitors to the town centre, can pick up a trail leaflet and free piece of fruit (while stocks last) at Waitrose to start their adventure.  The interactive mini adventure, will help to teach children about the close relationship between plants and insects as they search for items such as apples and pears to complete the trial.

There will also be FREE storytelling sessions (lasting between 30 and 40 minutes) in Waterstones and Fenwick on Tuesday 14 and Friday 17 February 2003.   

Spaces are limited and places must be booked in advance, unfortunately no walk-ins will be accepted.  Cushions will be available for children to use, parents will be required to stand.
