Butterfly Life Cycle Figurines

These were great tools to have with my grandkids actual kit of butterflys

Absolutely love raising them! :purple_heart::butterfly:

This was a really amazing and exciting little project! The catapillars were so tiny when they came. We watched to see if they were really alive. I'm happy to say all five survived the trip to Texas. There were visible changes every day, some times changes from morning then in the evening!! I never had to touch them throughout the entire cycle. It was such a miracle to watch the change, even when you know it will happen! We were sad to let them go but we agreed we would do it again soon. We missed the hatching. It was worth every penny!!

Good quality. Fun to play with.

Thank you! Hands on experiences with these are helpful!

I ordered 2 cups of caterpillars for my grandson’s second grade classroom. I loaned them my Butterfly garden that I have from when I taught kindergarten. His teacher wrote a wonderful note about how much the children enjoyed watching them each and every single day! The models helped the children understand the process.

I got these for my classroom and it is a fantastic visual aid!

I grow butterflies every year with my grandbabies and they loved having this model to explore the life stages

We had great success with the caterpillars turning into butterflies

The Order came intact and on time. All items from order were greatly appreciated.

Perfect for tiny hands to hold and explore!

The children showed interest in studying the butterflies. Having these props to use helped support children learning new vocabulary related to life cycle stages.

So great for teaching! My students LOVE this lesson! Great product!

These were incredibly helpful in our dramatic play, the students used them to teach each other the phases of the life cycle and it was great that they look exactly like what we could expect to find in our cups.

My K3 class really enjoyed checking for butterflies each day! And once they emerged, it was such a great learning experience!

Realistic

I used this product with my JK-4th grade classes and they all loved it and learned a lot!

The students enjoyed looking at and playing with the life cycle figures. Made of durable plastic that withstood the handling of my pre-K students.

While I realize these are intended for older children, we started teaching our child about science and nature when she was very young (1.5 YO). We know better than to leave anything small without supervision, but the egg itself is so small and round and apparently appetizing to little ones. So while the set is great, I wish the egg could come in a larger format - perhaps as a cluster of multiple eggs, or maybe an egg sitting on a leaf similar to how the ladybug larvae is attached to a leaf. Choking hazard aside, now that she's older, it rolls away when dropped and can be lost. Great set, I just recommend to Insect Lore that they consider revisiting the mold for the egg to make it a little larger and less round. While the kids don't have the benefit of seeing the eggs with the larvae kits, with that stage already having passed, it's helpful to have a tactile object to help them understand the stages and process. Recommended!

This Butterfly set is really detailed. It is good for education and can be placed and swapped around. It is a really good product! One thing I would recommend is for this set to be a part of the live butterfly kit, as it would make the live butterfly set to be more understandable for younger ones.
