Kids love bugs. So why not give them a chance to learn more about insects with a great science kit? In this episode of Gear Daddy, the dads review the Butterfly Bungalow kit. This product lets children create their own butterfly garden. Watch as caterpillars turn into beautiful butterflies. Other kits are available for ladybugs. A great way for a kid to learn science. DadLabs ep. 16 Gear Daddy.
Daddy Clay: Bugs – they’re not just for eating anymore. You can actually raise them. Kids love bugs, they love to have fun with them. We’re here with Kurt Heddinger from Insect Lore. He’s going to tell us about their really cool insect kits.
Kurt: Insect Lore has been known for our live butterfly kits for 40 years now. Our newest item is a Butterfly Bungalow which is a habitat that lets kids get inside and play with their butterflies.
Daddy Clay: How cool is that? How cool is that - you get in there with the bugs.
Kurt: Yeah. So you start off with some caterpillars and all the food they need to grow in the vile. There you watch them go through their metamorphosis from caterpillar to butterfly. So you’re outside of it here and inside of it there.
Daddy Clay: Very cool. Do you guys have other kits? Is that number one deal for you?
Kurt: This has been our flagship item for, like I said, the last 40 years. But we do mealworms, ants and ladybugs. We can take a look at our Ladybug Land kit here too.
Daddy Clay: Cool. Ladybugs, raise your own butterflies, crawl in there and play with them. Great kits from Insect Lore.
