## Description

Insect Lore Cup of 3-5 Live Baby Caterpillars - Raise and Release Refill : desertcart.co.uk: Toys & Games

Review: Brilliant - Bought for my 6 year old son. He loved it and so did I. All 5 caterpillars survived transit and all cocooned and emerged as butterflies. It was such a brilliant experience and one we plan to do every year. Releasing them was magical and a few even landed on my son, much to his delight. Really easy to care for and came with full instructions.
Review: Second time ordering—kids still fully hooked - This is our second time doing this. We originally got the full kit as a present, and this time we just ordered the refill cup. • All the caterpillars arrived alive and active • They’ve now turned into chrysalises—kids are counting down for the butterflies • Simple setup, no mess, and easy instructions • Great tie-in with what they’ve been learning at school Even after doing it once before, the excitement’s still there. It’s a fun mix of science and patience, and seeing it happen live beats any book or video.
