Another Party Favor Question

msu-bride

So I have some ideas for my DD's 4th birthday party favors, and I wanted to take a poll on which is a better idea.  We are doing a butterfly/bug theme, so my favor ideas are:

 1.  Bug box which has a net, magnifying glass and container to catch bugs.

2.  A real caterpillar in it's own little home that the kids will take home and watch it hatch into a butterfly.

 My husband thought of the caterpillar idea, but I am not sure if 3-4 year olds would like that or not.

I don't think I would be super happy to get a live caterpillar at a party. If it died DD would have a fit, just not worth it to me. I would stick with the bug box, she would really like that.

Well, dd and I did the whole caterpillar thing last summer ( she had just turned 3) ?and.. she loved it. ?She was amazed at the transformation and the fact that it pooped!

You have to feed it milkweed though and that was a bit of ?a pain since it is toxic and you have to clean out the jar etc.

I would go with the box.?

The first one. I wouldn't appreciate a live animal favor.
