Live Butterfly Garden
Live Butterfly Garden
Raise LIVE butterflies then release them to nature! Watch and learn as your tiny caterpillars turn into beautiful Painted Lady Butterflies... and watch them fly away! Each kit includes reusable washable pop-up habitat net (30cm tall) voucher for 5 caterpillars nutrition feeding pipette and full instructions. Age 4+.
How to raise more than one generation of critters inside: Since we sent our coupon for larvae out immediately after Christmas, we had butterflies dancing around the pavilion and mating in February when there were no plants outside to collect for the next generation of caterpillars to eat. Anticipating this, I ordered a mallow plant and some additional larval food from Carolina Biological Supply Company at about the time when our caterpillars turned into chrysalises: there is an online store and the stuff to get is the L918 culture medium (144040). This will feed about 80 larvae. (Unfortunately the Insect Lore company, which makes the Pavilion, only sells caterpillar food in small quantities along with additional larvae, which we certainly didn't need).
One more tip: the adult butterflies seem to become upended on the floor of the pavillion at times while they are flapping around and have trouble gaining traction to right themselves on the slick nylon surface. This shortened the lives of several of ours until I saw it happening and put some packing material (like easter straw) in there for them to stand on.

The music is really loud and repetitive (what kid's toy is complete without the mind numbing music?) and there is no way to turn it off or softer without completely turning off the toy. The Playskool Busy Ball Popper has won numerous toy awards, including American Baby's Best Toy, Child Magazine's Best Toy, and the NAPPA Gold Award.
Requires 4 "D" Batteries.
