Enough nutrient is included in the container for the caterpillars as they mature into butterflies, and after that you feed them with the aid of your butterfly feeding kit. When they're full grown, set them free! The sides of the butterfly garden habitat are made out of a see-through and breathable mesh for easy viewing. There is also a hook-and-loop fastener strap on top which will allow you to hang it from the ceiling or in front of a window (it also allows you to fold the habitat flat when not in use.

Category Description for BJU Press Elementary Levels:

Home Teacher Editions have reduced student text pages, lesson information for the teacher and answers to discussion questions in magenta. The texts are full-color and present a variety of topics from earth and space science, life science and physical science at each level. Most student texts are softbound. The Student Activity Manuals have all consumable student materials including worksheets to accompany the text, review sheets, and experiments with places for students to evaluate or record scientific data. The Complete Home School kits include all essential materials for one child.




Category Description for BJU Press Science:

With so many secular materials infused with evolution, it's sometimes difficult to find solid science materials that are based on Creationism. Bob Jones Science is thoroughly Christian, including many evidences and support of Creationism and many "holes" in the theory of evolution, particularly at the upper grade levels. Vital to the program are the student activities, or labs. The scientific method is emphasized as children participate on hands-on activities and experiments throughout the curriculum. The junior high and high school levels are full-blown laboratory science courses, complete with a separate lab manual. Experiments are excellent, but some of them require unique materials or are difficult to do in a home environment. The revised texts are more home-friendly, though, and Bob Jones also offers a Lab Manual Supplement for home schoolers, containing tips for doing lab activities in smaller groups. We have used many of these upper level texts in our home school. We also have accumulated a wealth of laboratory equipment and supplies over the years, which has made the lab work easier. I have sometimes substituted labs from Experiences in Biology and Experiences in Chemistry (from Castle Heights - see index) where it's been too difficult to use a particular lab. Bob Jones has made it easy to obtain lab materials and chemicals (you can order almost anything you need for their courses on the Science Lab Materials Order Form), but some labs are still pretty complex for a home environment, requiring a lot of set-up and preparation time. For each grade level, essential materials are listed first, followed by asterisked (*) supplemental support materials. Support items used at multiple grade levels are at the end.

The butterfly garden is a beautiful experiment allowing children to interact with nature in a uniquely hands-on way. They get to contribute to the metamorphosis of such a fascinating creation and ultimately release them back to the wild.

Does it come with catapillers?
A shopper on Jul 7, 2019
BEST ANSWER: They won't actually be caterpillars, yet. The kit comes with a cup. Inside the cup, there will be larva and the nutrients needed for them to grow into caterpillars. The kit allows the customer to see the many stages of the butterflies. It's quite a neat experience.
How do I order a new cup of caterpillars for a Butterfly Garden that I already have from last year and how much does it cost?
A shopper on Dec 13, 2018
BEST ANSWER: You should be able to go on the website and order just the cup. I believe the kit came with information needed for future orders as well.
Are they shipped only in spring?
A shopper on Apr 2, 2018
BEST ANSWER: They can only be shipped in mild weather.
Does this item comes with the insect?
Ariel C on Oct 21, 2017
BEST ANSWER: No. You have code to order the insect

A Must at Least Once During Elementary Years!
I love this set! It is so much fun and works great! I highly recommend at least letting your child experience this activity at least once during elementary years. I have ordered this twice and both children have enjoyed it.

Very nice
We really enjoyed the butterfly habitat. 1 caterpillar did not survive but the other four did. It was really fun to watch and both my five-year-old granddaughter and myself enjoyed it a lot. We released the butterflies this morning and that was a lot of fun too
