Dimensions?** A: It’s about 11 1/2 inches high and about 10 inches in diameter. It’s ok for 5 butterflies, but it’s a bit cramped for the 10 we have. It’ll be easy to clean, so that’s nice. We can use it again. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Purchase! Great for monarch eggs! *by on Reviewed in the United States July 18, 2026* Nice size. Additional literature provided. Sturdy and easy storage when not in use. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Educational and fun *by on Reviewed in the United States June 8, 2026* Sounds like fun. Larvae are take about ten days to come. My great grandson is having so much fun with this kit! Butterflies almost here! Even his mom is excited watching them! Highly recommend. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great gift and very educational *by on Reviewed in the United States June 17, 2026* I bought this for my 5 year nephew for his birthday. The first thing him and his brother did each morning was check on the caterpillars. They both really enjoyed watching the life cycle of the caterpillar turn into a butterfly and they learned so much from the information that came with the kit. The instructions were easy for their mom to follow for each stage. The container and net was the perfect size. The boys liked watching them transition to butterflies but they also enjoyed opening the net and watching them fly away. It was great gift for a 5 year old but his 3 year old brother equally enjoyed. ## Frequently Bought Together - NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC Butterfly Growing Kit - Butterfly Habitat Kit with Voucher to Redeem 5 Caterpillars (S&H Not Included), Butterfly Cage, Feeder (Amazon Exclusive) - Clearwater Butterfly Live Painted Lady Butterflies - 5 Live Caterpillars - Live Caterpillars to Butterflies - Caterpillars for Butterfly Kit - Mesh Cage Not Included - Live Butterfly Kit - 5 Count - Insect Lore Butterfly Garden Kit, Painted Lady Butterfly Kit with Voucher for Live Caterpillars, Butterfly Habitat, STEM Journal & More --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/511192416-national-geographic-butterfly-growing-kit-for-kids-nature-activity-mesh](https://www.desertcart.us/products/511192416-national-geographic-butterfly-growing-kit-for-kids-nature-activity-mesh) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-08*
