Butterfly Pavilion

Description

Witness the wonder of the butterfly lifecycle with this amazing educational experience. The roomy two-foot tall, Butterfly Pavilion habitat "pops-up" easily. Hang it from a string or set it on a table top. The breathable see-through mesh and zippered entry allows easy access for care and feeding of your caterpillars which makes it a great educational toy.

Why we love it

The Butterfly Pavilion is great for a 4 year old 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!

Product Features

• This educational toddler toy is a great way to interest your child in the world of science and nature. The Butterfly Garden and Pavilion come with a certificate to send away for five live caterpillars and food.
• Together, choose a place for your caterpillars to live. Put the caterpillars and the food in the garden or pavilion and wait for them to turn into butterflies. Explain to your preschooler that a caterpillar eats and eats to get lots of energy, then it makes a cocoon and when it comes out, it' 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 inn the garden than being cooped up in the container, right?
