Most youngsters love bugs and, if given a chance, can't resist collecting a jarful to take home for a closer look. However, even the most dedicated bug hunter would have a hard time finding all four stages of insect life to examine at once. Insect Lore's ladybug and Painted Lady butterfly kits feature it all-from larva to adult-in meticulously detailed soft plastic figures, large enough for little hands to grasp easily. If bugs aren't your thing, maybe you'd like a bullfrog kit complete with frog spawn (eggs), tadpole, and a baby bullfrog still sporting his tadpole tail. Ages 4 and up.
