5 Stars Educational and Fun!
My kids (2 and 5) love the butterfly habitat!! I always have an extra one in the house to give as a birthday present to one of my little girl’s friends. It is always a hit. Educational but also very cool!
5 Stars Butterfly garden
I bought one of these for each of my grandchildren and told them to call me everytime something happened. Well I wish you could have heard there little voices everytime they called to tell me that something different had happened. Like “Nana the caterpillars are in a shell!” Then, “Nana, the butterflies are popping out!” It was exciting for all of us. What a great gift, fun and educational at the same time.
1 Star Caterpillar Ordering is a Nightmare!!
I have been trying to order the caterpillars for our kit for three weeks! They are still not here! I have waited for literally hours on their phoneline. You cannot order the caterpillars online and the fax number comes back as invalid. They do not answer emails. DO NOT ORDER THIS IF YOU WANT THE CATERPILLARS ANYTIME SOON! I will never order this for my classroom again. School is going to be over before they even get here, let alone get through the lifecycle. I am giving it all one stars, I am sure it is fun, educational and sturdy but it doesn’t help much if you don’t have the butterflies.
5 Stars Great product!
The butterfly kit is wonderful! I am a teacher and raised butterflies with my kindergarten class and am now doing it with my six year old daughter at home. Kids love watching them change and learning about the life cycle. Be warned that there is an extra fee ($5) involved to send away for the caterpillars, but it is still worth it.
4 Stars Great for the classroom!
This is the second time I have used this particular brand of butterfly garden in my classroom. It is a great size for suspension from the ceiling or even a bulletin board, so that all of my students can view the process of metamorphosis as it occurs. I’ve used this in 7th and 8th grades and they have all been fascinated by the transformation. The butterfly garden itself can be used from year to year, clean it, spray it with disinfectant and store it opened up in the open air.
