Live Butterfly Garden

Magical metamorphosis

What could be more beautiful and alluring than a butterfly? Children in particular have always found butterflies to be fascinating, especially the magical and mysterious transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly.

With this fantastic butterfly habitat, kids will have the opportunity to see first-hand the exciting journey that these amazing insects take from larva to chrysalis through to colourful and delicate butterfly.

The hatching kit contains a transparent mesh butterfly habitat, which can be folded and stored for future use. You will also receive a feeding pipette and a care and instruction guide which contains interesting facts about butterflies! The coupon which is included allows you to send off for 5 Painted Lady caterpillars and their special food. (Please note that £2.50 will be required for post and packaging when you send off to have your caterpillars and food delivered.)

When your 5 baby caterpillars arrive by mail you can look after them, watch them grow to 10 times their original size, pupate and form cocoons and eventually emerge as beautiful and brightly coloured butterflies.

This butterfly garden is a great educational tool for kids who will quickly develop a greater understanding of the life cycle of a butterfly in particular and the wonder of nature in general. See their faces light up as they release the gorgeous Painted Lady butterflies, that they’ve seen start out as baby caterpillars, and watch them flutter by.
