Your child gets a three-piece set: a segmented green tunic with dimensional brown legs poking out the sides, a matching long-sleeve jumpsuit underneath, and a red hood-style cap with purple antennae standing proud on top. Lightweight polyester throughout, with soft stuffed segments that create that instantly-recognisable caterpillar body.

Parent FAQs

What size should I order?

The jumpsuit runs true to size with a comfortable fit over regular clothes. The tunic sits loose and boxy (that's the caterpillar body effect), so if your child is between sizes we'd say go with their usual size rather than sizing up. The cap is one-size with a chin fastener to keep it secure during the school day.

Can they wear this over regular clothes?

Yes — the jumpsuit works as a base layer (think long-sleeve tee and leggings underneath if it's a cold morning), then the tunic goes over the top. The cap covers the whole head like a hood. If your classroom's warm, the jumpsuit alone is enough and they can skip their usual clothes underneath.

Care: Spot clean the cap and tunic (the stuffed segments don't love the washing machine). Jumpsuit is machine washable cold, line dry.
