ACTIVITIES based on a popular children's book will be on offer next month.

The morning of activities based around the book the Very Hungry Caterpillar will take place at Waltham Abbey Library from 10.30am on February 22.

There will be a chance for children to make caterpillar face masks, draw pictures of butterflies and make a meal for a caterpillar.

Parents will be able to swap their favourite recipe ideas and help make a giant caterpillar to display in the library.

Free tickets for the event are available now from the library in Sun Street.
