For Christmas, Aunt Zanne gave Jack a ladybug and butterfly habitat where you send away for the babies to then watch them grow. It took us a while but we finally sent away for them and spent several weeks watching them grow. I think the kiddos were more excited about the ladybugs as they moved around more than the caterpillars, although Scott and I were more intrigued by the caterpillars. We were disappointed that we didn't see any of the butterflies come out of the cocoons. Regardless it was fun to do and something I can see us doing again.
