As stated by other customers, this is a tricky "toy" to give as a gift, as the best part - the caterpillars! - can't be given with the gift (the shipping window is 1-3 weeks for the caterpillars which makes timing difficult). Also, there is a $5.00 extra shipping charge for the caterpillars, but this is easily remedied by inserted the fee in with the birthday card. I researched several other butterfly gardens, and this site was the most forward about the extra fee which I appreciated. The reviews by other customers also made me think about its feasibility as a gift, but the fascination as the caterpillars change to chrysalises and then butterflies is worth the wait!

My grandaughter loved it!! We received 5 caterpillars and they all turned into butterflies. She kept them for two days and released them outside.

Perfect Gift

My daughter received the Butterfly Garden as a brthday present and at first glance it was not her favorite. That soon changed when the caterpillars arrived in the mail. She couldn't wait to watch the "how to" DVD and get started. For the next couple of weeks checking on them became a twice a day, or more, ritual. She was so excited to see Butterfly's and couldn't wait to start to feed them. Unfortunately they don't live forever. After losing 2 of the 5 five we decide to set them free. She is still talking about and can't wait for me to get more caterpillars so we can start all over. We've already given 4 of them as B-Day presents.
Easily a 5 star product!

Spring Fun and Discovery

Hours of fun finding butterflies, frogs, inch-worms, and whatever else to put into their see-through butterfly "house." 6 yr old boy and 4 yr old girl. 4 yr old seemed to have the most fun catching butterflies and watching the "residence" in the butterfly house. It became a competition to see how many she could get in there. At the end of the day she released 23 butterflies - who had been great sports for several hours!

We loved this product! It's a great teaching tool that really gets the children involved and encourages their enthusiasm and love for nature. Once the butterflies emerged, our children would stand by the net and watch for hours, fascinated with how they flew around and ate the fruit we left at the bottom. They were sad to see the butterflies leave after we let them go, but are excited at the prospect of new caterpillars. The net was lightweight and easy to hang in an area that made it possible for the kids to observe them. The only difficulty was in the cleaning of the net afterwards; the meconium left large stains and these were difficult to remove.

My kiddos are so excited for the caterpillars to arrive! I actually feel that not having immediate access to the caterpillars is a plus...we ordered the caterpillars online together and the wait gets them more excited. (Plus a lesson in delayed gratification! :) The only downside is, of course, you pay the extra for shipping.

We have not sent away for caterpillars yet, but used our own from our garden. The habitat has worked out well. Our whole family has enjoyed watching our caterpillars transform into a chrysalis. You can find information on how to care for your caterpillars on internet.

We just received our packages and will put in the order for the butterflies after spring break. The kit contained the butterfly net in an appealing package. I will use this to motivate my students to continue their science inquiry as the NYC weather warms up. we plan to release them in a nearby park after tracking the growth process. It's a surprise so no responses from my 5th graders yet. But I am certain from past experience that it will be a hit!

My daughter wanted this for her 4th birthday, after her preschool class had one. I was able to get it at a much lower price here, compared to purchasing it off the tv add. Order it like a month before you need to give it, so you have time to receive the kit and mail off the postcard to get your caterpillars (for $3.00). We did this, and had the caterpillars in time. They all arrived alive, the kids have seen them grow EVERY day, and about a week later, they are all forming their chysalids. Excellent educational toy, but fun for the kids to watch as well. Can't wait to see the butterflies hatch!

We haven't been able to use it yet b/c we had to send away for the caterpillars and food after we received the butterfly house. The kit purchased on the website contains a coupon that needs to be mailed in to receive the caterpillars....not a big deal since there aren't any time constraints for us--this is only going to be a fun at home project.

So Much Fun!

My daughters (ages 6 and 3) and I are having a fantastic time with our new little "pets"! It's a thrill to get up each morning to see how much these tiny caterpillars have grown in one night. At times I think they grow as we watch! We received 5 tiny caterpillars and all are thriving and growing. Although they do wiggle a bit, there is not a lot of movement from them most of the time and this could make this part of the adventure boring for some younger children. But we are having fun with our Painted Ladies. We look forward to watching their amazing transformation!

It was easy for my daughters to observe the butterflies as they dried their new wings and tried them for the first time. It is small enough for my 4-year-old to carry, so she was able to carry the baby butterfly to the butterfly garden herself, which was very exciting for her. We have not yet ordered the live caterpillars that come with this product, and we will probably wait until next summer to do so. Honestly, though, I would give this product the highest rating even without the caterpillars. (Butterfly caterpillars and their eggs are quite plentiful and easy to collect anyway.) We will certainly make plenty of use of this product each summer..

I was disappointed to find out that for $4 more 3- 5 cocoons had to be special ordered. The little girl was unable to appreciate it on her birthday.
 |
 |
Friends, cocoons simply cannot be shelved in a warehouse. Imagine the destruction and chaos whilst we trip over ourselves with nets in hand attempting to catch the hatchlings. Some of our customers have reported ordering the cocoons from the nature facility (see enclosed coupon) before they give this product as a gift. If you are that organized and on top of things - well done! And if not - be assured, this gift is one that will be enjoyed well beyond the day of the birthday!

I bought this as a gift for my niece's 13th birthday after I found out that she had been keeping some pet tent-worms in her room and needed a good habitat for them. The habitat is working well for the tent worms and is a nice looking addition to her bedroom. She was thrilled with it, and is looking forward to starting her butterfly project after her tent worms turn to moths. What a fantastic engaging toy! I will buy this again as a birthday present, and for my own daughter when she is a little older.

Great concept. I purchased this for our 7 year old granddaughter for Christmas. I'm hoping it is age appropriate. Some 7 yr olds may not have the 'patience' for this project in this culture of instant gratification.
I will order the 'larvae' so they will arrive the week after Christmas so she can look forward to their arrival about the time the 'let down' of the holiday hits.

This is an awesome product! My girls are not easy to amuse (3 and a half and 5 and a half) and they get bored easily but they loved this. This butterfly garden is also fun for parents. We enjoyed watching the changes and were actually lucky enough to be able to watch the butterflies as they came out of the chrysalis. We also released them together and watched them fly off. It was more than it promised to be!

We purchased this as a birthday gift for our 6-year-old daughter. She was very excited to receive her caterpillars and watch them grow. We took pictures, kept a journal, and also read a book to learn more about caterpillars and butterflies. There was plenty of action during the first stages to keep her interested - caterpillars crawling, spinning silk, moving towards to the top of the jar, etc. She was thrilled when her butterflies finally hatched. A fun, educational gift!

I bought this kit for my 5 year old and 3 year old and they both enjoy it very much. It is very easy to use once you receive your catepillars in the mail. Right now they have turned to chrysalides and are hanging down in the butterfly house. My kids are anxiously waiting for them to turn in butterflies. The product is exactly as described and excellent value for money.I recommend it to everybody.

We were very pleased with this item. Easy to feed the butterflies and plenty of space for them. The butterflies we received also did very well. All 5 of them hatched and were released. The only thing I would change is that it wasn't clear to me that there would be an additional charge ($5) for sending off for the butterflies. The box reads like there would be no additional charge. Great product, though. All 3 of my kids LOVED the experience.

My 3 year old son had a terrific time learning about the life cycle of the caterpillar/butterfly.
I was exciting every day to check and see what
progress had been made.
Only 4 out of 5 caterpillars made it to butterfly status but my son didn't seem to mind. He is so excited about the other 4!

We ordered this item because my daughter had seen it in her school. Her experience was that it is exciting and educational.We have not yet received our caterpillars. One surprise that we did not expect is that you have to pay an additional fee for the caterpillars. It would be great if they were included in the price and did not have to be ordered later.

My daughter's eyes lit up as she opened this gift for her birthday... "Just what I wanted!" she proclaimed. The Butterfly Garden immediately "popped" up as I pulled it from the package. We are waiting on our caterpillars to arrive and will anxiously await their transformation into butterflies!

We love this item. We purchased a similar one last year and our daughter wore it out. She safely captured butterflies throughout the summer. This year we are using the Butterfly Habitat and the larvae to bring into school for a Kindergarten project. Great product. We highly recommend it. We especially love the redesigned zip opening.

The kids are very excited about the Butterfly Garden. It is exactly as described. Excellent learning process for my children to explore science at home. I would definitely consider giving it as a gift to a young child with a spring/early summer birthday.

The Butterfly Garden is simple, yet very informative. Children in our preschool love to watch the caterpillars grow and change! Talking about wildlife and nature with our children is simply not enough. Visual aides help hold the attention of children of all ages. This is an amazing product.

My 8 year old loves it. It's amazing to see just how quickly the caterpillars grow. They are in their cocoon stage right now, so there's not much to see. We can't wait until they emerge as butterflies. I'm very happy I purchased it. My daughter has told me thank you at least 3 times for getting it.

I bought this for my 4 year old daughter who loves butterflies. Little did I know that the whole family was going to love it! I even have a neighbor that comes to check on it everyday. What a great mix of education and fun!

Product came in excellent condition and is being used to hatch painted lady butterflies! The product is simple enough for a child to use and pretty enough to display in one's home!

This is an interesting toy. My girl collected a bunch of tent caterpillars. She is waiting for the moth to come out. It is nice to get rid of the old strawberry box.

Love the concept for this toy. My son will absolutely adore it. We bought it together with a book on butterflys to make it a really educational piece. It will be fun to use the book together with the butterfly garden through the whole process. Only disappointment I had with this was you still have to pay another $5 or so to get the butterflies. That isn't explained clearly in the description of the toy. Knowing that now, I would have still purchased it.

I love products that provide an educational experience for my kids. When they are enjoying it so much, they don't even recognize it as educational. Why shouldn't education be fun? With today's technology, why shouldn't it be first-hand and hands-on as well? We just loved this experience, and with the ability to reorder caterpillars -we will be able to enjoy it again and again!

I have done this experiment several times myself with my children and it is amazing. I have given these kits at least 4 times as gifts and every person loved it and was as amazed as both my children and myself. As a matter of fact, I gave one as a gift because when I asked the mom what the child wanted she said "I'd hoped you buy her that butterfly kit you have been getting everyone," so I did.

I teach kindergarten, and I have a buttterfly garden in my classroom. My 4 year old daughter is fascinated with nature and loves to find various things. She had found a cocoon at her grandmother's house and is waiting for it to emerge. That gave me the idea to buy her the butterfly garden to put in her room so she can watch the transformation up close.

The Best

We "raised" 7 monarch caterpillars and got the opportunity to watch a few pupate and a few emerge. What a miracle. I can't wait until we can do it again. I am now suffering from empty nest syndrome. We don't have any children, but can only imagine how educational and exciting it would be for them to watch the process.

Great Idea, but Overpriced

My husband and I are both science geeks, so this butterfly garden was a natural choice for educating our children (ages 3 and 5) about the life cycle of a butterfly. I thought the price was rather high--that only pays for the habitat--another $3 is needed to get the larvae. Obviously, that didn't stop me from purchasing the item, as I felt the education to be gained was worth it. I would like to either see the price of the habitat come down, or include the cost of the larvae. But that's really my only complaint, and the habitat is reusable so the cost is somewhat justifiable.
We received our larvae from Insect Lore promptly one week ago, and have been enjoying watching our caterpillars get fat! Our daughter (the 5 year old) checks them daily--couldn't rate the play value higher because we cautioned her not to handle the container with the larvae too much! But she seems interested and overall, I'm glad I purchased this.

I ordered the butterfly garden for a granddaughter last year. She and her two brothers loved watching the growth process and seeing the beautiful butterflies. I ordered a second butterfly garden for another granddaughter this year.
My only complaint is that I couldn't order more butterflies for the kids to watch after the first set flew away. It would be nice if we could order and reorder extra butterflies. I would even like one for myself if more butterflies were made available.
