    Great idea

    My granddaughter loves this,a brilliant educational toy,it’s outrageous that you have to pay an additional £2.99 to get the caterpillars posted out,should be included in the original price which is also a bit expensive for basically a net! Still totally worth it to see her little face light up though.

    How long have you got ?

    Although the advert does state you receive a voucher for the caterpillars you have to go online using your voucher to order the caterpillars and then you are charged postage on top, once you have paid you then have to have to select a date for them to post out, the nearest date I could get was 6 weeks away, this kind of puts a dampener on it for the kids as they have now lost interest in the idea. Probably best not to tell your kids about it until after the caterpillars arrive.

  • Excellent

    It's amazing educational product. My kids just been happy to see all that proces from catepillar to butterfly. Just 1 catepillar didn't make it to turn to butterfly - but it's a life, isn'it?

  • Fascinating!

    My 5 year old son was interested in bugs as he was studying them at school. He kept the caterpillars in his bedroom and checked daily for changes, even taking them to school to show the class. When the day came, we released them and now, each time he sees a red admiral, he says "there's my butterfly!". Perfect for a teacher to use in class but make sure you time it right so that they don't emerge in the holidays!

  • A brilliant cost effective kit that will teach my nephew many lessons at once!

    My nephew loves nature and my sister hates mess. The caterpillars which will then change into butterflies not only teaches him about metamorphosis at a young age but also allows him to interact with something he is passionate about. I was a bit dubious about sending off a voucher to get them but I could do it all online as well! I’m a teacher and know what is coming up in the curriculum and my sister does not like mess. These were the best pets to invest in and I can buy them back next year so he can learn the lesson all over again. Brilliant educational resource.

  • False hope

    My granddaughter is 7 today and has received the pavilion Her mum ordered the caterpillars two weeks ago but they won’t be dispatched until 19th May. One sad and disappointed little girl

  • Educational and a good tool for conservation.

    Lovely idea. The butterfly mesh 'cage' (don't like using that word!) could be a little bigger though it can be used again. The zip on mind did not work well, but was manageable. It would be good to offer caterpillars of other butterfly species though this would depend on whether the buyer's locality had the suitable habitat for them on release. One of mine hatched a day before the others. Once their wings were dry, I let them all go - did not think it right to keep them incarcerated for longer than necessary.

  • My grandson loved them

    My 5yr old grandson loved watching them change and when they where ready to be released he took them into school where the children drew them then watched them fly away. The instructions are well writen and easy to follow. The net can be folded flat and used again.

  • Great buy

    I got this for my son to learn about the caterpillar/butterfly transformation. Our caterpillars are growing rapidly and I am enjoying watching them as much. We will probably order more caterpillars when these are let free. Definitely recommended!
