My Project

My students are inquisitive and curious by nature. We would love to experience insects like never before with the help of Insect Lore's popular Butterfly Garden and Ladybug Land!

This learning experience is sure to bring a unique and exciting hands-on activity to our classroom as we share the wonder of butterfly and ladybug metamorphosis.

These all-in-one kits arrive with everything we need to observe the fascinating Painted Lady butterfly and Ladybug life cycle. These kits will allow us to have an up close view of how the life cycle of these insects changes over time. We will keep a journal to document this awesome experience with our butterflies and ladybugs!
