Here is my screen shot of a butterfly the children could not see, I dragged 1 child then another and then a third and each one either had nothing, or ran off to look at fire.

This has happened to me before but i thought nothing off it, i thought that i had just gotten to it to late and the picture was delayed to disappear.

It's happened to me a few times, even when the item has just appeared ... and it seems to happen to the youngest children (2 yrs) ... like they can't pick them up yet because they are too heavy, or don't yet understand what to do? So the item just POOFS goes away. Try choosing older children to do the job.

happened to me too...like most of the others said..the item was there.but its already gone..and the picture just lags..they cant pick it up bc its technically not there

That happened to me with a red mushroom. I tried it with a bunch of different kids and none of them saw it LOL.

that happened to me with that same butterfly! I just figured that because it's the last one i need for my collection, that i'd have to wait and try again! sure was aggrevating though!

Ugh! It's happened several more times today with butterflies and some collection items (as well as mushrooms). I guess I just get over there to the items a few seconds too late LOL.

I just got kind of an odd message when I clicked on one of my villagers. It said she was complaining LOL. That's a first for that one.

yeah , that also happens to me in certain times.
