Things To Do In The Holidays

This rewarding educational kit is designed specifically for teachers and classrooms. It enables each student to raise their own Painted Lady Butterfly and witness the wonder of the butterfly life cycle. The Live Butterfly Pavilion School Kit provides educators with many opportunities to teach science, math, reading, environmental studies and environmental awareness. Once you have your caterpillar (or caterpillars if possible it’s a more likely to have success that way) it’s time to set up your observation net. Butterfly kits are a great way to start of your nature study into the life cycle of the butterfly they are fairly inexpensive and provide you with everything that you need to grow, nurture and then release the butterflies into the wild. Generally, it takes between five and 21 days for caterpillars to change into butterflies. The length of time depends on various factors such as species of caterpillar, environment, and outdoor temperature. Weather conditions generally determine when the best time to release butterflies is. Release butterflies into your garden when the temperature is between 60°F and 65°F (16°C – 18°C), the sun is shining, and there’s no wind. If the butterflies are a day old, then some slight rain won’t hurt them.

If conditions aren’t right for releasing butterflies, keep them indoors in the mesh terrarium and feed them regularly. Start with some paper towel on the bottom of your net, the caterpillars will poo a lot so using paper towel makes it easy to remove.
