Eric Carle, the award winning author, has come out with a new toy line, The world of Eric Carle. These toys promote fun and playful learning. For over 40 years, children have been able to experience Eric Carle's timeless stories and amazing visual art. His toys not only promote fun learning but also incorporate his art. Here is a fun fact about Eric Carle's timeless book A Very Hungry Caterpillar: it is purchased every 30 seconds around the world. My personal favorite toy in this line is the Attachable Activity Caterpillar. This toy provides many functions for my one-year-old and can attach to my stroller or crib.
