    Comes with voucher to order caterpillars separately
    This was great and fun for my 5 yr old. It came with everything you need EXCEPT the caterpillars. When it comes, the box contains a voucher, you go to bug lore and order your caterpillars separately. They are for free except shipping. So price check.. maybe buying the kit and caterpillars with shipping directly from bug lore might save you a few dollars rather than buying the kit on Amazon and then still having to pay shipping for the bugs. Everything else was great, All 5 caterpillars turned into butterflies. When releasing them my son got them to climb on his hands and let each one out individually, he really liked this. I only took off a star simply bc I didn’t realize it didn’t come with the caterpillars until the package arrived and it was for an Easter gift so the no caterpillars was kinda lame- they weren’t here in time for Easter. I’m sure it says it somewhere in the description but not obviously or loud enough for me to catch it when I bought this.

      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!

      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.

      5.0 out of 5 stars Hands- On Educational Experience, and Kid's Love It!
      Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2010
      Verified Purchase
      The Live Butterfly Garden by Insect Lore is a fun, hands- on educational experience that is certain to appeal to even the most stubborn, disinterested child. With the Live Butterfly Garden, children get to observe the process of metamorphosis, right before their eyes. Starting with caterpillars, children watch the little critters eat food, create a cocoon, and then transform into fully grown adult butterflies. The butterflies can then be observed in their habitat for a while before setting free.

      This butterfly garden is great for dozens of reasons, the most obvious of which is the educational value. Reading about insects and metamorphosis is one thing, but seeing the process live is another thing entirely. Kids get to learn how caterpillars/butterflies live, eat, and thrive; how to care for them; etc. They get to observe the caterpillars and butterflies at play and watch the butterflies eat their food, which is provided in the package. The caterpillars that come with the Live Butterfly Garden are painted ladies, which are not very common and will not be recognized by most children. However, most kids won't care- the fun of watching these small caterpillars transform into butterflies will have many kids gazing in awe, and prompt them to ask many questions.

      This educational toy is a huge hit and my kids loved it, but there were a few small issues. One was waiting for the caterpillars to arrive in the mail. To get the caterpillars, you have to mail in an included certificate, along with a check, and then wait. It seems like an eternity, especially from the perspective of young children, and it took longer than expected. Anther problem was parting with the butterflies. Once you have the caterpillars and they have transformed into adult butterflies, the next problem will be setting them free. Kids will grow attached to their small, winged friends and will not want to let them go. Another minor issue is with the transferring of the caterpillars from their small container- the one you receive in the mail- into the actual habitat. The container that the caterpillars arrive in has a paper area at the top, where the caterpillars will hang as they spin their cocoons. This paper section is fairly easy to remove, but the problem is that the cocoons are very delicately attached, and that means that some will fall off when the transfer is made. You will need to pin this piece of paper to the inside of the butterfly garden, but the kit doesn't include any pins. Safety pins or straight pins work, and it would have been nice if these were included in the kit.

      Still, when all factors are considered, the Live Butterfly Garden is worth the purchase and young children will enjoy the educational experience. Sure, it could be improved a little bit by making a few minor changes, but this is still a very good toy and considering my kid's fascination with the process, along with the educational value, it earns an easy recommendation.

      Ich habe mit das Set geholt, da ich selbst einfach mal neugierig bin, wie so ein Lebenszyklus eines Schmetterlings abläuft. Kleiner Wermutstropfen: man hat die Raupen nicht mit bei, sondern muss mit einem in der Verpackung befindlichen Gutschein die Raupen in England bestellen und dafür nochmal Porto zahlen.

      Achtung: Für die Zahlung muß ein Paypalkonto oder eine Kreditkarte vorhanden sein!

      Bei der Bestellung der Raupen gibt man dann den Tag an, an dem sie verschickt(!) werden sollen. Der Versand dauert ca. 5-7 Tagen. Sind die Raupen dann da, hat man ca 7-14 Tagen, bis sie sich verpuppen und man sie mit Hilfe der kleinen Pappaufsteller in das - in der Grundpackung vorhandene - Habitat umziehen läßt. Eine Erklärung für die gesammte Zeit ist in mehreren Sprachen vorhanden. Und man erhäkt zwischendurch auch einige Mails mit Hinweisen in deutscher Sprache.

      Ich fand das Leben der Raupen (sogar Streitigkeiten untereinander, sowie regelmäßiges Teilhäuten) sehr spannend und habe nun seit einer guten Woche die Puppen im Habitat. Nun warte ich begierig jeden Tag drauf, das ein Schmetterling schlüpft. Damit die kleinen gleich am Anfang zu fressen haben und nicht ein paar Stunden hungern müssen (was ihnen nicht gut tut!) habe ich nun auch kleine Blumen im Habitat stehn (ausgesucht nach intensiven Recherchen im Internet was diese Raupenart für Blüten braucht).

      Bitte denkt dran die Schmetterlinge nicht zu lange im Habitat zu belassen sondern sie zeitig in die Natur zu entlassen.

      Das Habitat ist mehrfach verwendtbar, die Becher, in denen die Raupen geliefert werden und in denen sie wachsen würd ich eher nicht wieder verwenden, da in ihm die Nahrungsreste sowie Kot liegt. Raupen kann man jederzeit über die Website des Herstellers nachbeziehen.

      Raupen werden aber NUR während einer bestimmten Zeit verschickt, in denen weder der Transport noch die anschließende Umgebung für die Schmetterlinge zu kalt ist! Es ist daher möglich, dass der Gtuschein z.B. im Dezember nicht eingelöst werden kann. Dann einfach im April erneut versuchen. Der Support des Herstellers reagiert nur in englischer Sprache! Wer also Fragen hat, sollte daher Englisch können. Die Anfrage in Deutsch ist kein Problem nur halt die Antwort kommt in Englisch.

      J'ai commandé ce produit pour ma classe de maternelle en me fiant aux commentaires trouvés ça et là sur internet mais avec un doute quand même sur la réussite de ce projet... et bien je dois dire que j'ai été bluffée! Sur 10 chenilles au départ (nous avions commandé un lot de chenilles en plus), 10 papillons à l'arrivée! En un peu plus de 3 semaines, avec des conditions météo médiocres et sans aucune contrainte (pas besoin de nourrir les chenilles elles ont déjà ce qu'il faut dans leur pot), c'est parfait pour les enseignants qui ne sont pas forcément très doués avec les petites bêtes! ;) Les enfants étaient fascinés de voir tous les jours les chenilles grossir à vue d'oeil puis de découvrir les cocons et enfin de voir en direct les papillons en sortir. Franchement je suis ravie de ce produit, la notice d'explication est très bien faite et je n'hésiterai pas à le recommander à tous mes collègues pour un projet sur le vivant. Juste une précision: une fois les papillons éclos, nous ne les gardions pas plus d'une journée dans la serre, c'est pour cela que nous avons pu avoir 10 papillons au lieu des 5 conseillés pour une serre de cette taille.
