Hands on projects featuring nature in you home for your children

Spectacular, hands-on Projects… Educational and yet exciting for our kids… They look forward to checking them all out every single day, the only thing they wish is that they never had to let them free very very cool

Great learning experience

We are family child care and we raise ladybugs every year in summer. Our class has toddlers and preschoolers. They love watching ladybugs grow. Even toddlers can name the stages of the life cycle of ladybugs.

I had purchased 2 tubes

I had purchased 2 tubes and for some reason they had all expired while in there lady bug land. I was truly upset so I had written the company, I am extremely happy they had replaced my 2 previous purchased tubes. My grandson and I are taking care of them together. I am enjoying creating memories to cherish ! I absolutely love :beetle: ladybugs and I am hoping he will too! We are still in larva stage but they all are looking happy and thriving! Thank you so much for standing behind your product it truly means more then you will ever realize! :heart:️

Love these larvae!! They are

Love these larvae!! They are fun to watch, and I use them in my garden to help with aphid control! I love searching for them as they munch on pests, finding their pupae in random places, and then seeing them all grown up. They have saved my honeysuckle and tomatoes from destruction. I’ll be ordering them every year.

My oldest granddaughter has always

My oldest granddaughter has always loved insects. Potato bugs, butterflies, lady bugs, etc. I found Insect lore just before her fourth birthday and her butterfly habitat and lady but land both have been well used. Only once did we have an issue with Larve not surviving and I think it was due to an unusual cold snap. IL make if right and made a customer for as long as we love bugs. Granddaughter nomber two has lady bug land but is not as into them as the oldest. Thank you for providing this unusual but cherished product.

Unfortunately the tubes arrived about a week late and although one tube worked successfully, all of the larvae in the other tube died days after their arrival. :(

This year they were extra busy and fun to watch! Last year I let Them out of the tube too early and they kinda escaped the ladybug land! I also think we got more in this bunch! My students love observing them!
