Butterfly Garden: Original Habitat and Two Live Cups of Caterpillars with Journal – Life Science & STEM Education – Butterfly Science Kit - Plus Butterfly Life Cycle Stages Figurines

Such an amazing kid friendly butterfly habitat. I got this for Kwanza for my 4yr old niece and she loved it! She sat and watched the caterpillars eat and grow in size in just 2 weeks as the directions say! I will say it comes with about 10 caterpillars which is 5 in each up. In both cups i had 1 caterpillar die so we ended up only releasing 8 butterflies. But we are still very delighted at the project. Instructions say they guarantee 3/5 caterpillars will last if stored properly and it has lived up to the guarantee! Will be purchasing again for my niece and another for my kindergarten class! It also comes with a super cool book for the kids to read about the butterfly cycle and once you release your butterflies there is an award on the back to reward your little entomologist!

I just wish the instructions were a tad clearer and maybe separate from other paperwork. I also wish maybe a different way to feed the caterpillars - felt like they were crawling around in their poop? Otherwise, everything is included - only had one misshapen winged butterfly. Was nice to see them fly away!

This was a great learning opportunity for my students. My kit of 10 caterpillars arrived quickly, and on Friday at the end of February. After the weekend they began moving and eating. They shed their skin multiple times and began leaving silky threads. Some of the pupa didn’t stay hanging. I debated on whether to leave them or try to reattach them to the lid. I ended up reattaching the fallen ones but lost track of which ones they were. Overall 7/10 emerged from their chrysalis and were released! My TK students loved watching the process and learned so much!

These were so fun and engaging to do with my 1st grade classroom. The kids were so involved in the process and learned so much through he experience. Definitely a spring semester staple. The whole kit will be reusable year after year, just buy new caterpillars. Great value or for the memories and education.

Our son did this while in school but it died. He was heartbroken. These were literally the only place that'd I could find online and near by. No one else has these! The learning book for this was awesome! We tracked everything daily for a little over 2 weeks. Only two had died total which wasn't bad. We had a total of 8! It'd been years since I did this and I had just as much fun as they did. Once we brought them outside after about 3-4 days (some took longer to hatch) they immediately started fluttering around the bag and were excited to leave. They didn't stick around but it was a beautiful thing to see from beginning to end. Will buy over & over!

Very very happy with this item. All of the caterpillars came alive they all made their chrysalis and 9 survived that

I did this with my 2 year old and she had a blast we got 6-7 catipillers (I can’t spell) and all but one made it my daughter also absolutely loved the toy stages of the butterfly that comes in this set personally I did also! Instructions where super simple and easy to follow I was a little worried around the end when they where crystalls cause I had a few that took forever to emerge and I thought they didn’t make it but they did overall great quality product for the price and size very educational and a great fun experience for you to do with your kids

This kit is awesome! It includes everything you need. We had 10 caterpillars & they were all healthy & active. Sadly for some reason, only 8 survived but those 8 became beautiful little butterflies! It was so much fun to watch the transformation & to 'grow' butterflies! I will probably order another kit at some point. I HIGHLY recommend this product. Sorry...I couldn't get a good picture in the netting.
