Starting Today You can Pre-Order Your Butterfly Raising Kit from Education Station

For a couple of years now, we’ve done the butterfly raising kits from Education Station. This small container of creepy crawlies filled with food and everything you need to get started (aside from the habitat when the butterflies are ready to emerge) gets picked up at Education Station. As the caterpillars grow and grow, they attach on to the top, entering the chrysalides and eventually emerge as painted lady butterflies.

The entire process took under a month and always amazes the kids, as the caterpillars grow so quickly, and then enter the chrysalides stage, before growing into butterflies. Every year, it is a different experience, as the kids notice different changes, and get to release the butterflies late in the spring.Order butterfly raising kits in Edmonton from Education Station and click through to find additional details and information about where to start and what you need.
