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

butterflies becoming
The Live Butterfly Garden is even cooler than we thought it would be.
It's great to have a long-term project that doesn't provide instant gratification. It's interesting and fun.
Butterfly habitat - great teaching aid
My wife is a first grade teacher. She and her class were thrilled with this product as it was used during their section on insects and butterflies. They placed caterpillars inside and let them crystallize and transform into butterflies. The product worked great!
Excellent educational toy
We bought this for our 8 yr. old granddaughter and it ended up being a whole family educational experience. All the butterflies hatched and she informed me this morning that she has 1 male and the rest are females. She was SO excited. We also purchased "From Caterpillar to Butterfly (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science, Stage 1" Would HIGHLY recommend purchasing both!
