For Paige's birthday she got a butterfly garden kit. It was fun. We got 5 caterpillars which we watched until they got huge and went into their cocoons.
After a week the butterflies started to emerge. 
We feed them orange slices.
And then after a week or so, we had to let them go. This one didn't want to fly away. It hung out on Paige's finger for a while before taking off. 
Paige loved the experience. She is already asking me to order more caterpillars. I would highly recommend this activity for anyone with small kids. They also have ladybug kits, ant farms, and praying mantis. I think ladybugs my be fun to try next.
