Also called the 'My Butterfly in a Jar' through UK retailers, this playful product will amuse children for hours with its ability to respond to taps on the glass with fluttering movements and the ability to perch and rest on the sides of the container. Watch the 'ChouChou Electric Butterfly' video to see if it fools you.
