A Very Hungry Caterpillar-themed birthday party means you can include healthy snacks at the party and still make them fun. Using this Caterpillar Straw Template, created by Gourmet Mom on the Go, kids can eat their snacks just like the hungry caterpillar himself! Just cut out the caterpillars from the template and tape them onto straws. Give each child a plate full of fruit and watch them nibble their way through.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar ate through one ice cream cone -- let your partygoers to the same. Here's our smart mom trick: to avoid a melty mess, use whipped cream in place of ice cream. Simply spray the whipped cream into the cone, add some rainbow-colored sprinkles on top, and garnish with a cherry.
