Inspire Curiosity About Nature

Caterpillar to Butterfly Kit for Classroom is a fun project to teach children about metamorphosis. Learning about the life cycle of butterflies helps children understand how life evolves. Watching caterpillars turn into butterflies is a fulfilling experience which encourages them to seek out similar examples in nature.

The length of the project is ideal for a fun-filled classroom activity. The transformation of caterpillars to butterflies takes about 3 weeks. The practical experience seamlessly combines with the lesson at hand and drives home the concepts of metamorphosis and life cycle.

An Effortless yet Engrossing Exercise

Even if you or your class haven’t raised critters before, growing butterflies is an easy adventure with this kit. For about 3 weeks your classroom will liven up while everyone enjoys this project. The kids will always be excited to check the progress of their caterpillars every day, eager to learn more about them.

You can include the kit instructions in your lesson. Keep the children intrigued by planning easy activities around the topic. Use the butterfly life cycle coloring page for this. You can also encourage them to keep a daily journal to note the progress of their caterpillars.

Can’t Grow Them Just Once

Growing butterflies is such a satisfying adventure for children that you will want to to do it all again. Our butterfly habitats are butterfly-friendly, safe for children, and also completely reusable. You can buy the 32-caterpillars refill kit to experience the fun again. After your class finishes rearing their butterflies, you can release them outside when the temperature is above 50°F.

After your class finishes rearing their butterflies, you can continue to keep them in the habitat and observe them for a few days. You can bring to the attention of the class their unique behavior as they taste with their feet and sip on fruit juices or sugar water with their unrolled, tube-like mouthparts. After a few days, you can release them outside when the temperature is above 50°F.

    Wonderful customer service, they go above and beyond. Fast shipping. We had 20 live butterflies from the kit! It is a fantastic opportunity for school-age and/or preschoolers (our toddlers enjoyed them as well). I would not hesitate to order these again from this company.

    I was pleased our funding allowed us to continue butterflies in spring for the second year. The caterpillars arrived the same week with all the required supplies. Our kindergarteners couldn’t have been more excited. After transferring caterpillars into individual containers we put them in our science area with magnifying glasses. Students are bring their parents in after school
    to share their excitement!! See you again next year!
