Disappointing Game
After reading the info on the back of the box, I was really excited to play this game with my 3.5 year old. I was disappointed. It was boring! The player pieces are made of cardboard that you have to fold together. Not the most durable. Also, they are pretty large in comparison the the spots on the board so the board gets very crowded. I also didn't think the instructions were very clear. I would pass on this game!

Big Caterpillar fans, but...
This game is just not very good. My son loves the idea of a Very Hungry Caterpillar game, so we ignore the not-so-clear "rules" of the lame-o game and try to come up with alternative ways to play with the pieces - but all in all, it's just pretty uninspired. Unfortunate. We really want to like it.

Confusing game!
My son got this game for his 3rd birthday. After playing it a few times, I wish we'd exchanged it for something else instead. It's not very entertaining, and it's downright confusing sometimes.
My biggest beef with it is that on almost every turn, if the spinner lands on the "moon" space, you lose your turn. BUT, if your caterpillar is on the moon spot on the board, you have to spin the moon space on the spinner to move on. My son's pretty good with playing games, but this sudden change of rules confuses him every time.
The game pieces are rather flimsy, and are starting to fall apart after just a few times playing. The game really isn't that exciting or fun, and I'm not even sure there's that much education value to it. It's cute, but there are much better games for this age group.

Boring, confusing and not sturdy
I was very exicted when my son got this game for Christmas, but my excitement was short-lived.
1. The game pieces are flimsy: four tiny cardboard boxes that fold together. Even before we played the first game, one of them was coming apart. There is no way that these pieces will last more than a couple weeks.
2. The instructions aren't clear. Are players supposed to stop at the "food" spaces no matter what, or only if they land on them? We played both ways.
3. Both ways were dull. It is just not very exciting or imaginitive.
The only good thing is that the game should fall apart quickly, so I'll have an excuse to get rid of it.

Game is flimsy & not very fun
We bought this game for our sun for Christmas. I thought it would be a fairly sturdy game for little ones, but I was wrong. In order to make the game pieces, you have to fold up these little boxes which could come apart very easily. We taped them which helps some. The directions on how to play the game are hard to understand, and I agree with the other reviewer who said you couldn't tell if everyone was supposed to stop at the places that said to stop there, or only if you actually landed on those spaces. Overall, the game just seemed kind of pointless. There are too many other fun games for small children available to waste money on this one. (Favorites here include Cranium Cariboo, Pretty, Pretty Princess and Hi, Ho, Cherry-O.)
