Dive into the World of 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar'

A unique opportunity is set to arrive in culinary and cultural Fukuoka on December 11, 2025. For families with young children, this event themed around Eric Carle's beloved children’s book, 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar', promises a day filled with fun, creativity, and beautiful memories. Organized by Lab Network Inc., this experience allows parents and kids to explore the enchanting world of the caterpillar through a special photo event at Saturday.AND READY café in Yakuin, Fukuoka.

An Exclusive Experience for Families

This event is not just about taking pictures; it’s a wholesome family experience designed to create lasting memories. The event is entirely free for the first 20 family entries, forging a welcoming and engaging environment where the joy of a shared experience reigns. In past events held in Tokyo and Kobe, spots filled up immediately as families clamored to be a part of the magic, indicating its high demand. Feedback from participants highlights things like "wonderful photos" and "joyful moments spent together" as common praises.

Enjoy a Day of Fun and Exploration

This special event will focus on giving families time to relax and bond. With limited spots and a reservation requirement, the event is designed to provide personalized engagement for each family. A mini-set replicating scenes from the book will allow guests to feel as if they've stepped right into the pages of the story. Families will engage in various activities, including:

• - Self-Photography Booth: Parents can become the official photographers for a brief five-minute session in a specially designed photobooth. Although there will be no costume rentals, families are encouraged to bring their props to add a personal touch to the photos.
• - Craft Workshop: Kids can unleash their creativity by making colorful caterpillars and butterflies using tissue paper, encouraging hands-on engagement with the iconic characters.
• - Refreshments: Parents can take a break with delicious café menu options while kids indulge in light snacks.
• - Exclusive Gifts: Each participating family will receive exclusive 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' merchandise as a keepsake from the day.

These interactive sessions not only enhance the photo experience but also forge deep connections through shared activities, making it a truly memorable day.

Upcoming Events and Future Collaboration

In addition to the Fukuoka event, exciting plans are on the horizon. In February 2026, two photographic studios in Nagasaki and Yamaguchi will host similar themed events, providing many more families with the opportunity to engage with 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' story. While the Fukuoka experience is all about casual self-portraits, the upcoming studio events will feature professional photographers who will capture the essence and expressions of children, transforming these photographs into treasured memories. Moreover, additional products such as personalized storybooks featuring children as the protagonists will be available for purchase.

These events aim to create long-lasting moments for families while supporting local photography studios, encouraging families to document their children's milestones as they grow.
