  • Real Review
This set is genuinely one of the most impressive educational tools available for kids. It effectively demonstrates the butterfly life cycle, allowing children to witness the transformation from caterpillar to butterfly firsthand. The package includes an engaging workbook that is filled with fun activities and informative content, along with a variety of colourful stickers to enhance the learning experience. Additionally, the set comes with a valuable coupon that enables you to obtain live butterflies for observation, and there's the option to order extra ones if you’d like to continue the learning process or if you're captivated by the cycle. I’ve personally enjoyed this set so much that I’m now on my third round of butterflies, and I can wholeheartedly say that it’s worth every penny. This product is a must-have for any family looking to inspire a love for nature and science in their children! ... show more

  • Fun and Educational
Such a great gift idea for young kids! The actual company where you redeem your voucher is very responsive and amazing to work with. When I received one of the cups, a caterpillar had perished. I reached out to the company directly and they quickly replaced the caterpillar and shipped me a new cup. Being able to watch the lifecycle of a butterfly was so much fun and educational for the kids! I would definitely recommend as a home project or for a classroom. ... show more

  • Great experience
The media could not be loaded. This is a great set. We’ve actually used the habitat for many other caterpillar to butterfly experiences. Its easily washed and folds up nicely to store between experiences. The voucher is easy to use and the caterpillars have never failed. We really enjoy all of the insect lore experiences but the butterflies are always our favorite. ... show more

  • Bit expensive but perfect
I bought this for my 5 year old. Along the way he had lots of fun and he learnt a whole lot about the butterfly lifecycle. Though the lot doesn’t come with Caterpillars, they give you a coupon to order it. The Insect Lore Butterfly Garden is a great way for kids to learn about the life cycle of a butterfly. The kit comes with everything you need, including a habitat, food, and caterpillars. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, and kids will love watching the caterpillars grow and change into butterflies. One of the best things about the Insect Lore Butterfly Garden is that it's a hands-on experience. Kids get to feed the caterpillars, water them, and watch them grow. They also get to learn about the different stages of metamorphosis. This is a great way for kids to learn about nature and science. The Insect Lore Butterfly Garden is also a great way to get kids interested in gardening. The caterpillars need milkweed leaves to eat, so kids will need to plant milkweed in their garden. This is a great way for kids to learn about gardening and the importance of pollinators. Overall, the Insect Lore Butterfly Garden is a great educational toy for kids. It's fun, educational, and a great way to get kids interested in nature. Here are some pros and cons of the Insect Lore Butterfly Garden: Pros: - Fun and educational - Easy to use - Comes with everything you need - Kids get to see the butterfly life cycle up close - Encourages kids to learn about nature and gardening Cons: - Can be a bit messy - Caterpillars can be fragile - Shipping can be expensive Overall, the Insect Lore Butterfly Garden is a great educational toy for kids. It's fun, educational, and a great way to get kids interested in nature. ... show more

  • Misleading…
Maybe this was my fault for not reading the fine print but I did not receive the cup of caterpillars with this kit. You get a voucher and then still have to pay $9 for shipping. The only reason I took off a star is because I had to order the cup of caterpillars separately and wait an additional week to receive my package. Despite that, my caterpillars are thriving and the kit comes with everything that you need. This is a very fun project to do with kids and they learn a lot . I like the little log it comes with to track everything. ... show more

  • Very hungry caterpillars
These a the perfect item for a preschool age child. Watching them grow into full size caterpillars and then turn into a chrysalis, then hatching and releasing. These teach the whole life cycle. Great for at home or a school setting!
