Editorial Review: Product Description: Witness one of nature's most spectacular transformations up close with this reusable, collapsible habitat. Fine, transparent mesh lets you see butterfly metamorphosis up close. Product includes easy-to-use feeder and complete instructions for habitat. Butterfly larvae with food shipped directly to your home. The habitat collapses for storage when not in use. You can adopt and raise a handful of caterpillars, watch them transform into painted lady butterflies, then lift the garden cover to release your beautiful specimens into the wild. This exciting habitat makes a fabulous introduction to the miracles of nature. The larvae and food available round the year. Editorial Review: Did you know that painted ladies (the butterflies, that is) taste with their feet and have 10,000 eyes? You and your kids will be fascinated by all you learn about these beautiful creatures with the Butterfly Garden from Insect Lore. The kit comes with a relatively easy-to-assemble observation chamber; supplies for feeding the butterflies (you provide only sugar and water); an informative booklet of clear instructions and butterfly facts; and a certificate for three to five free painted lady caterpillars. The metamorphosis from larva to butterfly takes about three weeks from when you receive the caterpillar larvae (which arrive in a small container with all the nutrients they need). Your children can watch the larvae increase dramatically in size, form chrysalides, and finally emerge into full-fledged painted ladies (it's suggested that they release the butterflies after a few days of observation). This would make a wonderful activity for families with kids of any age, but younger children will need help assembling the observation chamber and reading the instruction booklet. (Note: The manufacturer recommends that butterflies should not be set free in temperatures lower than 55 degrees Fahrenheit.) --Rachel Radway Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - A great way to learn!We bought the Butterfly Garden as a gift for our four year old daughter. The entire experience was wonderful. We followed the instruction provided and watched the magic happen. It was very exciting to look in the container every morning with her to see the progression. From caterpillar, to chrysalis, and into butterflies we were amazed at each step. I will do this again with her and we also purchased one for my niece(also 4). I felt it was a great way to teach her how things take time but they are worth waiting for. Just as a suggestion: try to keep this project for warmer weather due to not being able to release them in weather under 55 degrees. Have fun!! Rating: - Great family learning funI think I enjoyed this as much as my kids (3 1/2 and 6 1/2 years old) did! It was easy to send off for the catepillars and they came with their own food, so they were no trouble. We all had fun watching them grow - quickly!! - though we missed them emerging into butterflies. All 5 of ours became butterflies and we released them outside. The process didn't seem to take quite as long as we thought it would - perhaps our climate (Florida)??? You can also purchase other insects from Insect Lore to use with this kit and it folds flat for storage - a big plus! Anyway, I would highly recommend this to anyone! Rating: - Amazing!I was a skeptic- but I LOVE this toy. I bought it for my 5 year old and the children in my daycare (ages2-5). The caterpillars arrived in about 1 1/2 weeks and every one of them turned into a butterfly! We have been feeding them sugar water per the instructions and they have lived over four weeks! Great product. Would be fine at Christmas, the sugar water works great to keep them indoors! EXCELLENT product- and I am picky! Rating: - Great for children to learn This caterpillar/butterfly set was a lot of fun. It allowed my 6 year old to understand the life cycle of a caterpillar changing to a butterfly. The only problem, (which isn't a big deal) is that the caterpillar would transform to a butterfly overnight when we were sleeping, so we were unable to see that process. But we are already ordering more caterpillars because our family had lots of fun with it. Rating: - awesome educational toyToday was the day the butterflies hatched! My girls, 8 and 3 enjoyed watching them. We received 5 caterpillars some time ago and everything was as promised; easy to read instructions, easy to follow and understand. We all had a great time watching the caterpillars grow and crawl up to the top of the lid. Every morning we checked if the butterflies were hatching. Totally worth the money. |
