This fall, storybook magic meets backyard fun. Pogo Bounce House is proud to introduce two brand-new Backyard Kids inflatables inspired by The Very Hungry Caterpillar™ by Eric Carle—one of the most beloved children’s characters of all time. Whether you’re a parent planning the perfect birthday party or simply looking for new ways to keep kids active, these inflatables deliver nostalgia, safety, and serious play value.
Two New Ways to Play
Backyard Kids The Very Hungry Caterpillar™ Bounce House
The Very Hungry Caterpillar™ Backyard Kids Bounce House brings Eric Carle’s classic story to life with bright artwork and playful design. Children can bounce beneath the caterpillar’s friendly face and slide down the front for endless fun, making it a perfect pick for birthdays, playdates, or everyday backyard adventures. Lightweight, easy to set up, and safe for children under 10, it’s an instant favorite for screen-free play.
Backyard Kids The Very Hungry Caterpillar™ Bounce House & Slide Combo
For even more ways to play, our The Very Hungry Caterpillar™ Backyard Kids Bounce & Slide Combo offers a spacious bounce area, front slide, and mini ball pit. With cheerful details straight from the story, this inflatable transforms any backyard into a world of wonder. Whether it’s the centerpiece of a birthday party or a weekend energy outlet, it turns everyday play into an adventure filled with laughter, movement, and lasting memories.
Play Ideas for Families
These inflatables are more than just bounce houses—they’re a backdrop for creativity and family fun. A few ideas to spark playtime:
- Storytime Bounce: Read the book while kids act out the caterpillar’s journey.
- Party Centerpiece: Create a themed birthday with caterpillar cupcakes and fruit snacks.
- Everyday Energy Break: Set it up after school for safe, screen-free fun.
Why This Partnership Matters
The Very Hungry Caterpillar™ isn’t just a character—it’s a cultural icon. By teaming up with The World of Eric Carle, we’re helping families take storytelling off the page and into active, screen-free play.
“These inflatables are about more than fun—they’re about creating memories,” said the President and CEO of Pogo Bounce House. “We believe in meaningful play, and this partnership reflects that.”
