Butterfly Raising Kits are now available to order through Education Station and it’s one Spring time activity you definitely want to do with the kids.
Priced at $29.99 Butterfly Raising Kits include 8-10 larvae, an artificial diet, a group raising container, feeding vial, paint brush, and the complete instructions.
Habits for butterflies are sold separately and range in price from $14.99-$36.99, however the one that has worked best for us is the Butterfly Garden which is $24.99 and can be purchased from Education Station.
The habitat can be hung from the ceiling, however, it stayed on our kitchen island because it was easier for the kids to watch as the chrysalis went through metamorphosis into adult butterflies.
The process from Larvae to Butterfly takes approximately 3 weeks and once the butterflies emerged out of their cocoons the kids had fun giving the butterflies watermelon and other fruits.
