The perfect at-home or school activity to entertain and teach kids about natural lifecycles, metamorphosis, and change–all through an exciting kit that canentertain kids and adults from caterpillar to butterfly! Kits are usually available from late March to October.
1 Kit includes:
5 baby painted lady caterpillars in a cup
Enough food to last until adulthood
A reusable, 7-inch pop-up enclosure for releasing the adult butterflies
Butterfly coloring pages
Instructions for care
Each enclosure can accommodate up to 2 total cups of caterpillars (10 butterflies), so consider purchasing extra cups if you like!
It takes about 12 days on average for the caterpillars to reach the chrysalis stage, and another 8-10 days for them to emerge as butterflies. You can plan on the whole process taking about 3 weeks from start to finish. If timing is a concern, you may place your order and pick it up later this Spring (just let us know in the comment box as you check out)!
Free Pickup Available in Draper, and shipping options can be viewed at checkout. Please contact us for bulk pricing over 15 kits, or for wholesale and distribution inquiries. Kits are usually available from late March to October.
