Then we caught a wild catapilar and kept him until he was a butterfly. So be sure to have your camera ready if you decide to let them go. what a great photo op. This is a great educational item. He was really cool to have but he flew away immediately upon realse. I enjoyed it as much as my 4 yr old did. You do have to pay $3 additionally for shipping, but still very well worth it. When we released our butteflies to the outdoors we found them to be extremely tame and we got to hold them for a few minutes before they flew away.
Highly recommend. It's one thing to read about butterflies in a book, but a wholedifferent level to watch them grow and let them go, and feel you've hada part in their care. I bought this for my Grandson and sent it to him. It was a hit withhim.
The kit itself is very durable and can be saved for future use.We had a lot of fun with it thought, watching everyday in anticipation for our beautiful butterflies to enter into the world. That is why I gave the item a lower rating for durability, it's a look, but don't touch kind of thing. Overall this was a great product for my child to observe. The obvious issue is explaining to your 6 year old how fragile these insects are and that she can't mess around with it all the time.
They were tiny, seeing them double in size everyday is amazing. All 5 caterpillars are alive. We received the caterpillars about 1-2 weeks.
The first one was a birthday gift for my son who was 3 years old. We fed the flesh flowers sprayed with sugar water. This is the second times we got this product.
We love this kit. After we release the butterflies, the butterfly garden is very useful for my son to keep the bugs he catches everyday. This time I got it for him, as he really loves insects especially caterpillars and butterflies.
He goes to park everyday to catch butterflies and then releases them after 1 or 2 days.
Great Vendor but product may have a few flaws but not the vendor's fault. (give me toys) was fast to replace it. The price was good and I would buy from this Vendor again if Amazon did not have in stock. Children Toys:Purchased two cars for grandchildren. One conked out after 30 minutes.
