Check out our Gemmy’s My Pet Firefly Review! So fun! But first, I have to tell you, my daughter is ADDICTED to collecting bugs (especially MOTHS) and storing them in jars with holes in the lid. It drives me INSANE.
Every night it gets dark, yes, we are awake VERY late around here…, my daughter goes from door to door, looking for her mothez (pronounced: Moth-Ez), as she calls them.
When she sees one, she will bug me until I have no hair left and I decide to go outside and grab it for her. Only then will she be happy? It is an ongoing nightly ordeal and it is not fun.

So, my point? I am VERY glad I came across My Pet Firefly in blue in a jar. Here is a similar one on Amazon.com. Super happy. Why, you ask? Because this KIND OF takes away my daughter’s nightly obsession with those pesky mothez!
However, I cannot find these cute My Pet Firefly light up jars ANYWHERE anymore! Why did they stop making them? They were literally SO dang cute and fun to play with.
Make Your Own My Pet Firefly Light Up Jar!!!
I am sure you can make your own though with just a few supplies from your local craft shop or dollar store. All you would need is:
*A Glass Jar or Plastic Jar with Lid
*Little Fairy Lights (Battery Operated)
*And a little moth or butterfly!
Gemmy’s My Pet Firefly Review
The My Pet Firefly is super cute and NOT real! It is a glass jar with a little fake firefly in it. Now I can deal with that! You simply unhook the little wire that is connected to the box it is displayed in and pull it out of the jar lid.
Then you (after you unscrew the jar lid) put in 3 AA batteries, not included, and turn on your pet firefly! To get your pet firefly to move, you simply tap on the glass jar!
It is really a neat little thing. My son and daughter both love it and fight over it frequently. It is the best when it is nighttime and I turn it on and tell my kids stories! They love that!
The only thing I wish was that it came in a plastic jar, instead of a glass jar. That way, my daughter could walk around with it and I would not worry about it breaking and them getting injured. Other than that, this is a really neat thing for your kids, especially if they love bugs as much as mine do, sigh!
Buy!
You can purchase Gemmy’s My Pet Firefly online at Amazon.com. Since they don’t sell these anymore (so sad!) I found some similar ones for you on Amazon.
