Active Caterpillars Guarantee:

Order when daytime temperatures in your area are between 40°F and 85°F. Your kit is shipped with live caterpillars included and caterpillars are sensitive to outdoor temperatures, so check your forecast before ordering. We guarantee at least 2/3 of your caterpillars to become butterflies and add some extra caterpillars and food so you have some spares on hand.

Inspire a Love for Nature

The Butterflies in the Classroom Kit introduces students to the fascinating process of metamorphosis. Observing caterpillars grow, form chrysalides, and emerge as butterflies sparks curiosity and reinforce key scientific concepts.

This three-week project fits seamlessly into lesson plans, making it an excellent choice for classrooms, science fairs, or homeschooling activities. Children can also document the progress of their caterpillars in daily journals or enjoy coloring activities to complement the learning experience.

Create Lasting Memories

Students can observe daily changes in the caterpillars as they grow, form chrysalides, and emerge as butterflies. This project not only teaches science but also fosters curiosity and responsibility. Once the butterflies are ready, release them outside when temperatures are above 50°F for a fulfilling conclusion to the activity.

Perfect for All Seasons:
Whether it’s spring or winter, the Caterpillar to Butterfly Kit for Classroom makes learning fun and immersive for students of all ages.

Ages 4+ with adult supervision.
