An unforgettable experience!

"We absolutely loved the Insect Lore Butterfly Growing Kit! Watching the entire transformation from tiny caterpillars to beautiful Painted Lady butterflies was fascinating, not just for my 3-year-old daughter Olivia, but for me too. Every stage of the life cycle felt exciting, from seeing the caterpillars grow so quickly, to watching them form their chrysalises, and finally seeing the butterflies emerge. It was such a magical experience and a brilliant way to teach children about nature, patience, and caring for living creatures. The instructions were easy to follow, and everything we needed was included. Releasing the butterflies into the garden at the end was a lovely moment we’ll both remember for a long time. If you’re looking for an educational activity that’s also genuinely fun and memorable, I couldn’t recommend this kit enough. It was worth every penny and we’ll definitely be doing it again! 🦋❤️"

Thank you for such a

"Thank you for such a wonderful product. We linked the kit to our Messy Church theme Easter and New LIfe . I brilliantly help the children to understand the concept of Resurrection and New Life . The children followed the process closely and when it came to freeing the butterfly were amazed at how quickly and how high they flew . Some of the younger children sreach the skies pointing the butterflies out ‘say they are sure that was ours’. Well worth the time ,effort (minimal ) and cost ( minimal) . hope to repeat it again next year. Thank you so much . Judith Beveridge Cross Lane United Messy Church WA12 9PT. BRILLIANT"

Amazing way to grow caterpillars

"Amazing way to grow caterpillars into butterflies. Easy instructions and beautiful to watch their transformation. Excellent customer service when their external delivery service broke the delivery and customer services quickly provided support and a very satisfactory solution."

— Maria T. (5/5)

This was a great experience

"This was a great experience for all the family. 5/5 made it to butterflies. Everyday my 8 year old, 4 year old, myself and my wife all gave each other updates on the status of them. We missed all the butterflies emerging so my advice would be as soon as the first one appears, get a timelapse camera on them so as not to miss the rest appear (3 of them emerged overnight). Would definitely recommend and do this again. The timeline is approrpiate too of about 3 weeks total as the kids didn't lose interest in them before we set them free."
