Beautiful Butterflies - FUN and EDUCATIONAL!!! by Wreckinball  5 Stars
November 29, 2009
My kids, ages 3, 3, and 6 LOVED this toy. Easy to do and highly educational. We grew butterfly friendly flowers in the yard to encourage the butterflies to stick around. The kids even got to hold the butterflies in their hands as they sat on a leaf. EXCELLENT TOY. Be sure to order during moderate temperatures as I read in another review that the delivery temperature outside can be too cold in the winter months to get good results. We ordered in VA in June and it worked GREAT!

Our Christmas Tradition by A. Hayes (PC, Florida) 5 Stars
November 24, 2009
We have been ordering the butterflies for 3 years now and it would be a HUGE disappointment to my kids if this wasn't under the tree. The house itself is washable and reusable so that makes the whole thing economical! I won't let my 2 year old handle it, but it is durable. I highly recommend this in addition to the lady bug house.

Fantastic gift by Carrie Vales (atlanta) 5 Stars
November 22, 2009
What a great gift from the Easter bunny. My kids aged 4 and 7 at the time, loved this gift. All but 1 one the "worms" developed and we were eventually left with 5 beautiful butterflies. My kids enjoy enjoyed the birthing process, feeding and letting the butterflies go. Every time we see a "matching" butterfly the 4 year old says, "There's the butterfly we grew!" It so sweet! You won't be disappointed!

Might take too long to arrive by JeFaMe (Georgia)  3 Stars
November 20, 2009
The first summer we bought this kit, the caterpillars arrived fine--all of them alive. They turned into chrysalids within a few days, so I knew they were on the late side of arriving--close to two weeks after ordering. They all became pretty butterflies, nevertheless, and we fed them orange slices. We released them in our yard after a few days, and my young daughters loved the experience of raising "baby caterpillars" into butterflies. However, this year it was a much different experience. The caterpillars took nearly 3 weeks to come and arrived a smelly dead mess. The things had desperately tried to spin their cocoons in transport but you could tell were knocked off the lid before they could complete the process (and thus died). My daughters were crestfallen, and I never sent the container back for an exchange for fear that the next one would arrive late and dead as well. I live in the Atlanta area where receiving packages is usually much speedier than places like the small town where I grew up, so I am not sure where these come from.

Stunning Experience by Shah (Texas, USA) 5 Stars
November 17, 2009
This turned out to be a very exciting and educational thing for my little son and for the entire family. Watching them grow from caterpillars into pupa and then into butterflies was surely a stunning experience. Fortunately I was able to capture two of the pupae turning into butterflies live. Watch the video at youtube. Video # MCVm_5XFIYo

by Deborah Heiligman (Author), Bari Weissman (Illustrator)
A caterpillar comes to school in a jar. The class watches the caterpillar each day as it grows and changes. Soon, it disappears into a hard shell called a chrysalis. Then the chrysalis breaks, and a beautiful butterfly flies out of the jar! This is a perfect beginner's guide to the mystery of metamorphosis.
