Hi

I live in Colorado, by Denver.
I found this caterpillar in my garage, any idea what it is?
And if yes, what to feed it to make the kids happy?

Thanks

Just a cutworm.  Will turn into a moth  In particular a Bronze Cutworm.(link below(see big picture top of page) )  As for food don't think they are picky as long as it is growing.
