Fantastic Gift for Kids! Sep 03, 2010 This Butterfly Garden is the perfect gift for children: potentially educational, fun, easy to take care of, and also interesting for any adults around. I've bought a few of these for younger relatives, and the reviews have always come back positive! This is a FANTSTIC birthday/Christmas/etc. gift if you have young kids to buy a present for.
You get what's advertised. Aug 28, 2010 My daughter enjoyed this toy. The net can be used again so you only have to buy the caterpillars.
Great learning Aug 25, 2010 I think my husband and I were just as excited as my daughter to check on our caterpillars every morning! The chrysallis stage kind of bored my daughter after a week but she is 3 so thast's a given. GREAT product that I would highly recommend.
3.00 processing fee?! Aug 22, 2010 I bought for my grandson's birthday and was very disappointed find the certificate required another 15.00 to be sent in! I understood the cost of the larvae would be covered. I have done this project with students and it is a wonderful experience but I think this particular kit is misleading.
A great learning experience. Aug 22, 2010 We bought this for my 7 year old daughter after seeing a similar product in a major retailer; and I can't recomend it enough for anyone who's kids (or parents, aunts, uncles, etc) are curious about where those colorful butterflies come from every summer.
The kit says that at least 3 of the 5 larvae will survive to become butterflies, we had all 5 survive.
My daughter loved every stage; from watching the larvae grow (very quickly) into caterpillars and become crysalids (not cocoons daddy! Moths come from cocoons!" my daughter corrected me more than once)and then creating her own environment for her butterflies.
When it came time to release them they actually stayed in our yard for a few days (nothing cuter than watching a little girl talk to her butterfly friends about life outside.)
Again; can't recomend this enough.
