Oh, how they have grown! We are anxiously awaiting the formation of the chrysalides. That should happen any day now. Those greenish balls in the container are "frass" or caterpillar waste. There is much more of it than I expected.
C looks at everything through rainbow colored glasses. Funny, I remember my older son, T, doing that when he was C's age too. 
R, on the other hand, is content to make a few quick marks.

I love these caterpillar kits. I'm eagerly looking forward to spring when we can do our own kit.
oh yes caterpillars have tons of poop where does it come from! :)
thanks for the update! hows twilight coming along are you done yet?
We are so sad, our little caterpillar died. Not sure why. He went into his J shape and just died. I do have to say that D (3yrs) hasn't even noticed yet and it was 2 days ago. We hope to find another one on the milkweed in our yard. Good Luck
How great! I remember buying little baby pre-frogs that were supposed to grow into frogs. They never did! I'll have to try a catepillar kit for the younger boys. Maybe we'll have better luck!
The chicory is blooming in Ky now. My husband loves looking for their. . . fluffy cottony pre-butterfly homes.
It looks like such fun! We tried raising pre-frogs to frogs,but they died.
My husband loves looking in the fields on the farm for the pre-butterfuly fluffy,cottony cocoons.
I bet my younger guys would love a caterpillar kit!
The caterpillars are so much fun! Looking forward to seeing each step. I really love the rainbow caterpillar picture too. You guys have so much fun (because of all the great things you plan!).
How fun! Not far from us there is a place where Monarch butterfly come from Mexico for winter. It's amazing - in January there are thousands of big monarch butterflies everywhere. I am saving my butterfly theme until then, because I so want to take Anna to this field trip. And maybe then we will try to grow our own butterfly :)
PS - Anna mostly colors like R does. No interest yet.
