Great
Excitement!
The Jones kids were ecstatic when the butterfly caterpillars arrived. We got them out of the box and spent quite a bit of time looking at them. The caterpillars may have been a little dazed by the bright lights after the darkness of the box, but after a few moments they were all moving around. All five are happy and healthy. We put the caterpillar container on our bookshelf to keep it out of the sun and the kids are enjoying looking at them as they pass by. I am very happy that I got a caterpillar book to read through - Irina is really enjoying learning about caterpillars and what kind of plants to plant to attract butterflies. The kit itself is fun but without the book it is a more passive activity at least for now in the waiting stage. The kids are anxious for them to turn into their chrysalis. I've learned a lot about butterflies the different kinds and where different types are located around the United States. 
We'll keep you posted on their progress.

Hey sharon, we did this last year. It is sooo much fun. Right now we're raising a tadpole and he's already getting legs after just a couple weeks. Very exciting!!!
