Loving our bugs!
This is such a valuable and magical learning experience for the little ones in my care. They are so excited everyday to see the changes happening with the caterpillars. I appreciate the fast delivery and the quality of the butterfly house. Much better than the old cardboard box house of the past! We... can't wait to release our butterfly friends and will totally do this project again next Spring!

a little upset...
The Actual product from DSS is great, came on time and the packaging is fine but... Im not happy with the company who supplies the butterfly larve. I have been waiting 2 weeks to get it and we are past our butterfly unit now.

Great for our small grandchildren - aged 7. Took about 2 weeks to become butterflies...flew into a flowering bush at the grandkids house and then off to who knows where!
I would continue to buy this product!

I bought the butterfly garden for my class, and my kids have been living being able to look at and watch the caterpillars grow! It's been fun and amazing being able to see how much my kids are loving it!
Would definitely buy it again

You have to send for caterpillars so it is too late in the season and by the way that caterpillars eat soybeans so they are considered PESTS.
Would buy again if has all pieces

The instructions indicate there to be a "log" to place the chrysalis on and watch it. Neither box I ordered has one.
Fun spring/summer activity!

We did this at home while quarantined due to COVID- my kids are 2&3 - it was a bit too old for them to really understand the science aspect but they really enjoyed seeing the butterflies after they came out of the chrysalis! 4 out of the 5 caterpillars turned into butterflies !
Not buying again

I am actually super annoyed at how long it took, how much it cost, and how I still had to pay 8 dollars to another company and wait for these larva things
I would buy again!
