My daughter had great fun

"My daughter had great fun watching her five caterpillars turn into butterflies! She loved watching them grow and holding them briefly on release day, it was magical. She has already asked to do it again 🙂"

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! 🦋❤️"

"Brilliant, kids were fascinated. With the hot weather the butterflies emerged a lot sooner than we thought, they were probably only in the Chrysalis 5 days."

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"
