Amazon has an awesome discount today on one of our favorite summer toys! This Insect Lore Live Butterfly Garden is on sale right now for only $12.99 (reg. $24.99) and it qualifies for free Prime or Super Saver shipping. We have one of these and it’s hands down our most used summer toy. The kids catch butterflies in it daily in the warmer months.

The Butterfly Garden comes with a coupon you can mail in to get your butterfly larvae. You’ll have to pay $5 to process that order. The butterflies they sent to us were painted ladies and the kids loved watching the whole process and releasing them in a local park. After the first year we just collected our own caterpillars from the garden and grew them in the house ourselves. Swallowtail caterpillars love parsley and the greens of carrots, so if you grow these things in your garden you’re apt to find a caterpillar you can raise, too! And that’s free. My kids catch butterflies right off the butterfly bush we have. (Yes, we let them go!)

We’ve gotten SO much use out of this butterfly house. If your kids don’t have one, I highly recommend it, and it would make a great birthday gift for kids, too.
My kids, releasing our butterfly!
