- great gift
- My daughter loved watching these butterflies develop. They were only caterpillars for about 4 days and then in their cacoon for about 3 days, maybe because of the heat. 4 out of 5 of the butterflies made it!

- Fun and educational, but long wait for caterpillars.
- The Butterfly Pavilion is a really fun and educational item, but you do not receive the caterpillars with the pavilion. When you get the pavilion you have to send in $5 extra to get the caterpillars. After sending in the money we waited 3 weeks and then they finally came. I was disappointed because you would think the price for the caterpillars would be included in the 24.99 with the pavilion. My daughter asked me everyday where the caterpillars were when we checked the mail. I tried calling costumer service many times only I never got to talk to a person after waiting in hold for over 20 minutes several different times. I even left a message after picking an extension and never received a call back. If I would have know this now I would have ordered the more expensive one from the TV. At least that one comes with the caterpillars at the same time. The one we got also does not come with the DVD and poster that the other one comes with.

- Not a toy, an experience
- I purchased this for my 6 year old's 7th birthday. We followed the directions, he went to it everyday and watched the caterpillars amazing transformation from tiny caterpillars to very large, to cocoon, to baby beautiful butterflys. The experience was amazing for all of us. We bought him an age appropriate book to read. He learned so much!!! As did we from him.
This is an awesome family oriented craft. Follow the directions, don't put your catepillars where they will get bumped in to. And watch with amazement, mother nature at work.
We'll be purchasing new butterfly larvae in the Spring of 09!!!! - 2008-06-13, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Great Learning Experience for my Son and Me!
- This product delivered just as promised! I expected to get dead caterpillars or something lame. Nope! Once I mailed off the enclosed card for live caterpillars, they arrived in a week or less!
We are in the pupa stage now and are awaiting our beauties!
Great product! And you can re-use the net part. Just go buy some dill at the herb store! I did and had 14 little fellas! (ps they look like specks of dirt at first!) Be sure to buy LOTS of dill, as these guys will double in size daily! - 2008-06-09, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
