National Geographic Butterfly Growing Kit - Butterfly Habitat Kit with Voucher to Redeem 5 Caterpillars (S&H Not Included), Butterfly Cage, Feeder (Amazon Exclusive)

Got these for Grandkids as alternative to video games. Very educational and not your old school ant farms which were messy and hard to keep ants contained. This comes with a media that allows you to see the ants work but provides food and water so all self contained. Under lighting provides a great night light alternative.Ants are purchased separately. Highly recommend this for Grade School Kids!

We got the National Geographic Ant Habitat Kit for our kids and it’s been a huge hit! From setup to play, everything about this kit was exciting and educational. The light-up terrarium with built-in magnifiers makes watching the ants so much more fun — my kids are constantly peering in to see what they’re doing. The tunnel starter tool made it easy to build an interesting ant world right away, and the whole kit feels very sturdy and well-made. It also includes plenty of activities that keep kids engaged and learning about ant behavior and habitats. This has turned into one of our favorite hands-on science projects at home. Highly recommend for curious kids, classroom use, or as a gift!

I bought the Butterfly Growing Kit because I wanted a fun and educational project to do with my 5-year-old (and baby around!) during our winter break. The mesh habitat is cute and easy to set up, and my daughter loved decorating the feeder with the included stickers. Watching the caterpillars grow into painted-lady butterflies was absolutely magical — seeing nature in action right in our living room. The learning guide and poster added a nice educational layer, explaining the life cycle of butterflies in a kid-friendly way. A couple of things to note: the voucher for the live caterpillars requires additional shipping and is limited to the contiguous United States. Also, you’ll need to choose a location with stable temperature (not direct sun or draft) for best results. Overall, I highly recommend this kit for families looking to combine fun, creativity and learning — especially for kids ages 4 and up. A great gift that brings nature indoors.

Very solid, clean, simple. The gel is the food and water !! Ants not included but suggests harvester ants - they are cute and cuddly … (not) but this has my daughter so interested in so many things - learning and life and even death and helping each other. All great lessons of life.

My kids loved this so much! It was an interesting experience for the whole family

This kit is amazing! As an adult who wanted to give this a try, it is perfect. You do not get the caterpillars with this kit, but you get a voucher to order them. You just pay shipping. I received 6 caterpillars and they all did great, cocoons did well, and my first butterfly has emerged! Waiting for the other 5. Highly recommend for children and adults!!!

This was so fun and educational, we ordered multiple times. The instructions were straight forward and easy to follow. Great experience for kids and adults alike

This was a fantastic and engaging experience for our entire family. My children were fascinated by observing the full life cycle of the caterpillars from tiny larvae, to pupae, and finally to butterflies. We successfully hatched all six caterpillars. It appears they include an extra one or two to account for any mishaps during shipping, which is thoughtful. I highly recommend doing a bit of research beforehand, as each stage can be surprising if you're unfamiliar with the process. It's important to note that caterpillars will shed their skin multiple times as this is completely normal and not a cause for concern. When they begin to pupate, they will attempt to hang from the top of the container. During this stage, avoid shaking or disturbing the container. If any pupae fall, you can gently place them on a paper towel inside the provided habitat. Once the butterflies emerge, they will excrete a red liquid called meconium. While it may look like blood, it's simply leftover fluid from their development and is perfectly normal. Allow the butterflies a few hours to rest before releasing them outdoors. Overall, this was a fun, hands-on learning experience and a great way to teach kids about metamorphosis in a memorable way. Highly recommended for families!

Why are u selling it in uae if you the voucher cant be used in in any other country then USA. But it doesn’t tell you that in the description

The larvae come from the us and they dont slip to australia, so you can buy the kit but you will have to get the butterflies elsewhere.

Kids absolutely loved the practical activity

Have a grandchild who was thrilled with the kit until we all realized it here’s no chrysalis’s included and you have to order from US. US not allowed to ship to Canada-across any borders…. We have a beautiful netted home for caterpillars to hatch into butterflies to look at… Total rip off at the cost especially insulting without the chrysalis being shipped alongside. Even in US you have to place order after you receive the kit, to get the chrysalis so child is with a gift that is unusable. Until, if in US, you put in the order that is the whole concept of the gift/kit.

Fue para un regalo y recibí muchos elogios de lo buen producto que es
