  • Educational, fun, and entertaining.
Style: New Design
Purchased this for my 4 year old grandson who is truly enjoying learning about nature. Very nice little set. You have to order the actual butterfly larvae separately, and it will be sent you when your climate is right for the butterflies. We received ours and the larvae are currently in their crystallite stage ready to be put into the netted housing. A very nice educational item for kids of all ages. ... show more

So much fun! I had just as much fun as my son watching them grow and setting them free! Will be doing this again.

  • great for classroom butterfly lifecycle
Style: New Design
I used this in my toddler classroom for growing caterpillars into butterflies. The design is great for viewing and very sturdy. I wish there was a better way to attach to chrysalis to the top of the "net", I get one of these every few years and sometimes one becomes unattached when zipping/unzipping the top. It cleans up easily and is great for release of the butterflies! ... show more

  • Good setup with some flaws
Style: New Design
Purchase this butterfly kit for my 3-year-old to see the abundance of Gulf fritillary butterflies we have. He loved seeing the growth of the caterpillars and the transformation from Caterpillar to Chrysalis to butterfly. This is a great purchase for the money, however the durability is not The best and the way to open this is not conducive to cleaning out caterpillar poop. It's easy to use and set up. However, the only way to open this is by unzipping the top and folding over half of the flap. The entire top is not open all the way. Just a half circle portion of it. It's a small opening and makes it difficult to reach in and clean out without dumping the entire thing out. I did attempt to put two caterpillars in at a time. However, once one went to Chrysalis it just made it difficult to clean out as I did not want to disturb it. I moved the second caterpillar to a separate container. Overall this is good for the value and fun for kids. ... show more

  • Amazing experience for my 4 year old
Style: Original Design
The Nature Bound Butterfly Growing Habitat Kit has been an amazing educational experience for my 4-year-old son and me. As we homeschool, finding engaging, hands-on learning tools is a top priority, and this kit has delivered just that. Watching his excitement as he learns about the lifecycle of butterflies right from our balcony is priceless. The kit's easy-to-use features allowed him to actively participate in setting it up, which made him feel like a real scientist. It's incredible to see his curiosity grow alongside the caterpillars. Highly recommended for a fun and educational activity that brings nature closer to home! ... show more

  • Butterfly habitat
Style: New Design
Although overall this was the perfect habitat for newly hatched caterpillars we found on our back door, the netting is too large and they keep crawling through it. Other improvements could also be made like including the see through plastic on places on the sides (mesh is hard to see through),and making the top open completely by placing a longer zipper ( only open 1/2 way). I also think the voucher is misleading in that it is NOT for caterpillars but a discount toward your purchase. ... show more

I bought this for my granddaughter and it’s worth every penny! We have had the best time watching the caterpillars transform. Today we have 6 butterflies and are expecting the other 4 any time now. Easy to do!
