A great present for young nature lovers

"A great present for my granddaughter’s 4th birthday. She loves little creatures and is always on the look out for ants, grasshoppers, moths, butterflies and anything else that moves. She really enjoyed being able to use her butterfly lifecycle set to see where they come from"

An Unforgettable, Magical Experience.

"I received nine Painted Lady caterpillars eighteen days ago. They all formed cocoons and I removed the silk threads and cross to make their move to become butterflies more successful. I released three happily two days ago. Yesterday four more made freedom but three of these were reluctant being in the sun with the happy one sitting on the patio waiting patiently nearby. I have one more ready to go tomorrow and one that failed to emerge from the cocoon. What a wonderful experience I had with friends wanting regular updates and photographs. With today’s downpour I have spotted one in my butterfly house where I have left nectar. More may be there but I was not going to stay in the rain to check! Thank you from a pensioner."

Good accompaniment to live butterfly kit.

"Bought this to accompany the live butterfly kit. Children like having this to touch and hold while following the live process - specially younger children who expect immediate results from the live kit!"

Lorna M. (5/5)

Good educational resource

"I think the instructions could be more uniform across the instructions received and those on the website. We enjoyed the experience and will be back for more next year"
