5 Stars Butterflies at home
My kids love this! They begged me to get one after doing this activity at their preschool. We got the kit, sent away for the larvae and received them in about a week. Watched them form crysalises and then into butterflies. We now have 4 butterflies, and one is waiting to emerge. We are feeding them and watching them spread their wings in their cage. It’s a great learning activity for the kids and very affordable.
5 Stars Great learning experience
Overall this was a great product for my child to observe. The obvious issue is explaining to your 6 year old how fragile these insects are and that she can’t mess around with it all the time. That is why I gave the item a lower rating for durability, it’s a look, but don’t touch kind of thing. The kit itself is very durable and can be saved for future use!
We had a lot of fun with it thought, watching everyday in anticipation for our beautiful butterflies to enter into the world.
5 Stars Love butterflies!
We bought this for my daughter’s 5th birthday — and she loves it! I also bought the book From Caterpillar to Butterfly, and the whole experience was very educational and fun. However, be careful when ordering the caterpillars. I requested that they be shipped to us on a certain date (as offered on the order form), but they arrived a week later — so it’s obvious that no one really read the order form. We were leaving town and had to ask our friends to take over … which was very disappointing. Otherwise, it truly is a wonderful gift that every child should experience!
5 Stars Love to see the butterfly
This is the second times we got this product. The first one was a birthday gift for my son who was 3 years old. This time I got it for him, as he really loves insects especially caterpillars and butterflies. He goes to park everyday to catch butterflies and then releases them after 1 or 2 days. We fed the flesh flowers sprayed with sugar water.
We love this kit. We received the caterpillars about 1-2 weeks. All 5 caterpillars are alive. They were tiny, seeing them double in size everyday is amazing. After we release the butterflies, the butterfly garden is very useful for my son to keep the bugs he catches everyday.

Children Toys:
Purchased two cars for grandchildren. One conked out after 30 minutes. (give me toys) was fast to replace it. Great Vendor but product may have a few flaws but not the vendor’s fault. The price was good and I would buy from this Vendor again if Amazon did not have in stock.
