Bright and fluttery and perfect for a little girl. A 5 gallon tank would be more than enough & very easy to clean. My children loved their betta before they moved on up to poultry, rabbits & dairy goats. Best of luck!! <em>LOL- I had one a long time ago. So pretty and easy to care for! We have so many farm animals now that I think something simple is a great idea! ~Rhen</em> I must suggest a male betta fish (AKA Siamese fighting fish) They do not need heated tanks, they are fine alone, and they are very pretty.

Yes, crazy, but I did. When I was in daycare we filled a balloon with sand and then used permanent markers to make them a face. I don't know WHY but I loved my balloon thing. Or you could find her a nice pebble and paint a face on it. Honestly, kids love these types of things and guess what! No litter boxes or cages to clean! I had a pet balloon. Yes, crazy, but I did.

Just, if one day they happen to look dead, don't act hastily, like we did... I wanted to ask you to sign a <a href="http://hslda.org/elink.asp?ID=4831" rel="nofollow">petition</a> to help support homeschooling in California which has been threatened by a recent court decision, and possibly mention it on your blog to help spread the word? There's more information <a href="http://www.hslda.org/elink.asp?id=4808" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Thanks! I agree with hermit crabs – so cute!
