 Wonderful kit - really works! June 7, 2000
43 out of 43 found this review helpful
We got this kit at a toy store, because my 4 year old had been learning about butterflies and caterpillars at pre-school. He was fascinated with them and talked about them all the time! The kit came with a coupon that you mailed in for 5 caterpillars. As soon as they came, my two boys (7 and 4) were fascinated with it. They were just studying it all the time. When we finally let the butterflies go, it was wonderful to see them fly away. I plan to purchase this kit as a gift for my nieces. It was wonderful!

this kit was a wild shot.... who knows if this kind of thing is going to work.... but it did! the kit was all inclusive and came with everything necessary to hatch out the butterflies. every single one emerged and were perfect and beautiful. we loved it! the weather now is perfect for the release, too!

We set up a Butterfly Garden for the kids and, as you've probably already read by others' reviews, they loved it. What surprised me most was how intrigued I found *myself* by it. All 5 caterpillars grew remarkably quickly, and all five emerged as loveable butterflies - the surprise was how I caught myself calling the kids over to look and running when they called me to take a peek at them. They were the best pets I ever had for a month! No muss, no fuss - and what a great experience, even for the he-man, butterfly-poo-pooin' dad.

We have used this kit at our science museum in Dallas for several years. The company is reliable and the children have rarely been disappointed with their catterpillars. My own children still ask me to buy the catterpillars every year and never tire of watching the metamorphosis take place right before their eyes. I highly recommend this product for all ages and it makes a great children's birthday gift.
Fun, educational, and really cool, too! October 24, 1999

I bought this kit for my 5-year-old, but my 3-year-old wound up loving it every bit as much as the older one. The caterpillars arrive in a sealed container with everything they need--all you have to do is observe them. After a week, we placed the cocoons in the habitat, and out hatched five gorgeous butterflies. What's more, they began laying eggs within a few days, and before you know it, we had DOZENS of teeny-tiny baby caterpillars! Of course, we set them free outside (I'm no bug farmer), and we enjoyed painted lady butterflies throughout the rest of the summer. This kit provided my children with a wonderful, exciting learning experience that they will never forget!
