## Description

Give the gift of a magical butterfly experience! From the moment this kit arrives, the journey begins. Kids can immediately observe the early stages of metamorphosis, watching caterpillars eat, grow, and prepare for their transformation. Over the course of about three weeks, caterpillars form chrysalides, and with patience and care, emerge as vibrant butterflies ready to be released into the world. Along the way, children gain a deeper understanding of life science, responsibility, and the importance of pollinators in our ecosystem. Trusted by families and educators for nearly 50 years, Insect Lore’s butterfly growing kit includes everything needed plus bonus toys. The entire kit supports early STEM learning, making it perfect for nature study units, spring science projects, or homeschool enrichment. Please note that caterpillars are sensitive to temperature and should only be ordered when daytime temperatures are between 50°F and 90°F. Caterpillars can only be shipped within the continental U.S. Ready to raise butterflies? Let the learning and discovery begin the moment the box arrives.

Review: AMAZING Experience- Fun For All Ages! 🐛🦋 - This Butterfly Garden set has been one of the most exciting and magical things we’ve done at home. It comes with 5 tiny caterpillars and literally everything you need to watch them grow into beautiful butterflies 🐛➡️🦋. The whole process was super easy to follow and incredibly fun for both kids and adults. Everyday we watched the caterpillars grow, build their cocoons, and finally emerge as butterflies. It felt like our very own science adventure right in the living room. The habitat is reusable, and small, the kit even includes feeding tools, a guide and stickers to make it more engaging and fun. Perfect for families, classrooms or even as a unique gift idea. If you are looking for a fun educational and heartwarming experience. THIS IS IT!!!! 💜💜 It was great deal, get it while u can…..
Review: So much fun! - I bought these for my granddaughter so we could do something over the end of winter and release in the spring. She absolutely loved this! It was fun to watch them grow, feed them, and release come warm weather. We needed to keep them a little extra longer because the cold weather came back, but they did great inside the house. As soon as we had a beautiful warm day we released them.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A learning experience
*by S***Y on May 9, 2025*

I literally just let my butterflies go after like a month of them morphing into butterflies. I loved this activity and they truly do provide you with everything you need. It was functional as they gave you all the tool to allow the caterpillars to grow into healthy butterflies and the instructions were extremely clear and detailed. It is an amazing experience for child development and learning and was simply a beautiful experience. The mesh they give you for the butterflies is not huge but that makes since bc you are supposed to let them go soon after they become butterflies but I couldnt bring myself to let them go and fed them the sugar water solution, fresh fruit, and even fresh squeezed fruit juice and they all survived up until today. So get it watch them grow, let them go right away or keep them, but it is an amazing experience.
