We’ve been ordering these for years and our preschoolers love watching the caterpillars turn into butterflies! And when the time comes, it’s fun to release them and watch them fly away.

Our butterfly experience was wonderful. Every single caterpillar turned into a butterfly. The kids truly enjoyed the experience of watching the life cycle of the butterfly and then being able to watch them being released. — Amy Blaum, Nokomis CUSD 22

Our preschool was so blown away by the amazing butterfly experience that you afforded us! The children were engaged, invested, and in awe of the metamorphosis process. The materials provided helped children to follow the growth process step by step and better understand what they were personally witnessing. The culmination of our unit was when we were able to release the butterflies class by class and allow the children to touch the butterflies and release them into the sky. We took some amazing photos that bring a perfect definition to the word “wonderment”. We will be forever grateful for this experience. — Koryn Parker, Little Learner’s Exploration Academy

We love our butterflies and don’t want to get them anywhere else but you guys
They arrived on time and ate, grew and were released! Thanks, Cathy

As always, our butterfly experience was fun, fact filled, and exciting for children and staff. I had ordered three separate kits for classrooms and we had almost 100% success rate with our caterpillar to butterflies. Release day for all three classrooms went well — the butterflies obligingly landed on nearby dandelions; allowing the children to hunker down and study them as the butterflies became acclimated to their new environment. I will most certainly be ordering again next year — in fact one teacher has asked that she be allowed to have twice as many! Thank you for all your help. — Anita Swift, Waseca Head Start

If your a parent looking to enhance your childs science room, these are a great idea. Very easy and educational for every grade. I have ordered & donated these for several years, and the teachers so appreciate the extra project. Students, the younger the better, love them. Thank you. Dawn, Wisconsin.
