Product description
The Giant Butterfly Garden® Kit offers a hands-on, engaging way for young learners to observe the life cycle of the Painted Lady Butterfly . This educational kit is perfect for early childhood classrooms, providing children with a unique opportunity to witness metamorphosis firsthand. The set includes a durable, mesh habitat that can be hung or set up as a free-standing display, featuring an easy-access zipper for convenient observation. The habitat measures 18” in height , offering an ideal space for the caterpillars to grow and transform. The kit comes with a certificate for five live caterpillars , along with special food, an eyedropper for feeding, and a detailed guide to help children understand the fascinating stages of metamorphosis. As the caterpillars eat, grow, and hang upside down to form their chrysalises, they will eventually emerge as adult butterflies—providing children with a full understanding of the butterfly life cycle. This is an excellent addition to a science curriculum , offering visual, hands-on learning. This activity helps to foster curiosity, patience, and responsibility in young learners, while also encouraging the development of observation and fine motor skills. The kit is designed for children ages 4 and up , making it a perfect fit for early childhood education environments. Please note that there is a $7.95 shipping fee for the caterpillars , and they can only be shipped within the USA (excluding Hawaii).
