    5.0 out of 5 stars I had so much fun out of this with my granddaughters
    Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2014

    I had so much fun out of this with my granddaughters. We watched the little critters eating, wiggling and growing to twice their size. Then we watched them hang upside down and turn into cacoons. I took pictures of them everyday to show their progress. It's well worth the few days it takes to get your little jar with the miracle bugs. I had to bug-sit while the girls were in school and wound up watching the caterpillars and butterflys as much as the girls did. Yes, I'll reorder again next year, the environment in the kit was excellent, it was easy to se them and they had plenty of room to fly when their wings were dry. Good buy for the kids and the grown up.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Ridiculous Rip Off!
    Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2010
    Verified Purchase
    I ordered this kit and was excited when I received it BUT there was no coupon for caterpillars inside! I sent it back and Amazon kindly sent me a new one right away. Now that I have the coupon for caterpillars, I realize that it cost $12 MORE if I want the caterpillars. Let me get this straight - I spent $20 for a tiny laundry hamper and now I have to spend almost that much just to get the good stuff??? I should have read all the information because now that I have, I realize that there is a Butterfly Garden Insect Lore Live Butterfly Garden that only charges $3 for the caterpillars. This was such a ripoff and not a good experience.

    You have to pay extra for the critters! I think the cost of the kit, toy, etc. is even over priced! Then to pay more for the insects is a rip off!! Someone is sure making money on this one!

    3.0 out of 5 stars Son loved it - BUT... very costly for what you get ... only 5 babies hatched
    Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2007
    Verified Purchase
    This toy is a great idea! Though very costly for what you get (mostly just a square netting with a few cheap accessories! You must buy the eggs separately - we only had 5 babies hatch - and after 3 days only 1 is alive! My son loved it when they hatched, but he is VERY disappointed he only has one left - and he is assuming that one will die quickly too! We read lots of extra information on how to keep them alive - but not much worked! It might be better to keep them in their natural habitat!

    I bought this for the container, so I could keep the caterpillars I find in the garden safe from predators. It does that. And I love watching them grow!

    My boys and I had so much fun watching our caterpillars grow. The plastic top is really nice to look through and is much easier to see through then a mesh net. We had 4 caterpillars in there at one time and they all grew nicely and became beautiful butterflies. We love this product!

    Excellent customer service! The first shipment arrived with only two live caterpillars. I emailed Fascinations on a weekend. They replied that evening, and we received new caterpillars within two days. A wonderful experience for my grandchildren. Very exciting to observe granddaughters face as the butterfly landed on her arm. she also enjoyed the educational coloring page. I plan on ordering every year for children I work with to enjoy.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Read reviews first!!
    Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    I wish I had read the reviews here first!! For the price, I thought the butterfly garden would be a complete package. It's not. Plan on spending even more money to get the caterpillars to grow into butterflies. And plan on getting your own food to feed them through the process. If you have a collapsable laundry basket, just use that. That's all you get for the price. On the plus side, the included black-n-white booklet about butterflies is kind of interesting. That part's worth about 50 cents.
