Mini Butterfly Bungalow

 

Description

All the thrill of the full-sized Butterfly Bungalow on the tabletop! The Mini Butterfly Bungalow brings the sky indoors for three live Painted lady butterflies in this new homey habitat. The mini tent habitat is pre-assembled for pop-open, pop-up ease. Please allow approximately 3 weeks for your larvae to develop. During extremely hot or cold weather, delivery of live larvae may be delayed. Available only in the Continental U.S. and Alaska. Note! There is an additional $3.00 required when redeeming your coupon for shipping and handling. It′s hard to find good gifts for 4 year olds, but this toy is one of the greatest!

 

Why we love it

The Butterfly Bungalow is one of the most fantastic toys for four year olds out there because it is a unique and fascinating way for a child to learn about nature firsthand. Your child will witness each stage from cocoon to caterpillar to butterfly. He/she will love watching the changes and releasing the butterfly into the backyard when its metamorphosis is complete. Moms loved this toy and the kids loved it more!

 

Features and Skills

  • This educational toddler toy is a great way to interest your child in the world of science and nature. The Mini Butterfly Bungalow comes with a certificate to send away for live caterpillars and food.
  • Together choose a place for your caterpillars to live.  Put the caterpillars and the food in the garden or bungalow and wait for them to turn into butterflies.  Explain to your preschooler that a caterpillar eats and eats and gets lots of energy then it makes a cocoon and when it comes out, it is a butterfly.
  • When it turns into a butterfly have your child remember the process and explain to you what happened to the caterpillar. At first your child may find it alarming that the caterpillar is no longer there. Remind him/her that it really is still there, just as a butterfly instead.
  • You can have a bonding moment with your child as you go outside and release the butterflies into nature again. He/she may be sad to see his/her pet go, but you can use this opportunity to teach your child to respect nature. The butterfly would probably be happier flying around in the garden than being cooped up in the container, right?

Product Reviews

 

Most sites have product reviews. At ebeanstalk we do it differently. All our reviews happen BEFORE a product makes it on our site. Our team of child-experts looked at, tested and selected only the best toys. Then, they matched the toys to a child’s stage of development. Then they custom write an instruction card for each and every toy. This is the ebeanstalk review process. No other site does this; not even close. By conducting the review ahead of time, we ensure that our toys are the best and you can trust that the toys you are buying are matched to a child’s stage of development.

 

HOWEVER, we still want your feedback. If you'd like to tell us your impressions of a toy, please email us at feedback@ebeanstalk.com
