Sunnyside's toddler room — where new arrivals are sent to be mangled by two-year-olds who don't know the difference between playing and destroying, serving as Lotso's punishment detail.
The Caterpillar Room is where dreams of eternal play die. Toddlers play with toys the way toddlers do — with enthusiasm, violence, and absolutely no concept of fragility. A toy in the Caterpillar Room gets hammered into tables, dunked in paint, yanked apart, drooled on, and thrown across the room. Repeatedly. Every day. Lotso assigns all new arrivals here. It's not random — it's political. The Caterpillar Room is how he breaks new toys into his system. After a few days of toddler destruction, any offer of the Butterfly Room looks like salvation, and salvation requires obedience to Lotso. It's systematic cruelty disguised as institutional procedure.
A brightly colored playroom for toddlers with low tables, chunky plastic toys, finger-painting supplies, and padded floors. The artwork on the walls is cheerful. The reality is a war zone — toys are thrown, chewed on, smeared with paint, stepped on, and slammed against walls by small children who haven't yet learned fine motor control. The floor is sticky. The air smells like apple juice and disaster.
