My kids are homeschooled, so this was a great hands-on learning project for them. I also really loved that it came with an educational workbook, which was a great addition and helped make the experience even more meaningful.All five caterpillars successfully went into their chrysalis, but only three were able to fully emerge on their own. Two unfortunately got stuck while trying to come out.My only suggestion for the company would be to make the cap or area where the chrysalises attach a little larger. It seemed like they were very close together, and I think having more space could help prevent them from bumping into each other or getting crowded while emerging.We were able to release the three butterflies a few days after they emerged, and it was still a memorable experience for our family. I just wish there had been a little more room for them during the chrysalis stage so all five had the best chance of emerging successfully. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth every penny *by on Reviewed in the United States June 2, 2026* Amazing ! Definitely worth the money!!!! We loved this! I got it for my son’s birthday! I was worried that it wouldn’t work or half would die etc but they didn’t! We had a 10/10 live success rate! Not one passed! It was awesome watching them grow. They grow quick! Also the directions were super easy to understand and read. It’s very easy step bye step guide for children to follow. They give you everything you need. The sugar water you need for your butterfly’s when they hatch, it comes with plenty of! I had both packets left ! I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to get their child a science type birthday gift or a life cycle type gift. This is so much cooler and more fun than a plastic toy! It was worth every penny and we’ll be ordering again next spring! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing! Absolutely beautiful *by on Reviewed in the United States June 11, 2026* All 10 caterpillars arrived healthy and happy. Webbing was made previous to arrival, they are all moving around nicely. My kiddos can’t wait to watch them as they grow into butterflies. They love the hard play cycle of life as well, all around amazing and great quality! The booklet is adorable, and the instructions were on point. ## Frequently Bought Together - Insect Lore Butterfly Garden As Seen On TV - Caterpillar to Butterfly (National Geographic Kids Explore!
