The kit comes with just about everything you need to “grow” 10 butterflies. It takes about 4 weeks or so to complete all the steps. It was exciting to see H so interested in it…especially for Mathlete Hubby who is really into scientific stuff. She would come home each day and run over to see what was happening. Once the butterflies emerge from the cocoons, you feed them orange slices or sugar water until their wings are strong enough to fly.
Last night, all of our butterflies were ready to fly so we had a small butterfly release “party” with our neighbors, ages 4 and 7. Someone was very excited about the butterflies…
Tomorrow it is back to the to-do list…
