Butterfly Farm ($39.99) We've told you about this wonderful Science kit for watching the metamorphosis of a butterfly up close! Use the enclosed voucher to send for five baby caterpillars and the food they need. There’s no fee for shipping, but be on the lookout for them. Don’t let them sit in the package when they arrive. They grow an amazing ten times their size before they form chrysalides! Inside the habitat. Watch for a few days and then please release them in the garden or park. 4-6 . Also special, see our review for their Ladybug Kit ($24.99)
Activity Idea: Keep a simple log with the date to record the changes. Use your phone camera to record the progress and have kids draw pictures of the changes they see. Early school age kids can write about their observations. Preschoolers will enjoy dictating as you write what they see and say about it. Writing their words helps preschoolers see the connections between words we say and written language.
Ages: Prechoolers, Early School
