Information
Our SmartKidsPlanet initiative began in 2017 when 3 geeky and dedicated parents saw a gap in the children’s toys and games market. An opportunity was spotted while we struggled to find toys and games for our kids which enriched their minds and guided them toward science, art, math and construction. The trio then knew that their paths were set, establishing an online shop with a comprehensive range of intelligent toys for babies, children and young teenagers.
With offices based in California, our SmartKidsPlanet team enjoys a daily growth in our presence within the children’s educational toys market. We love our new place in life, and we love helping young minds with their growth and skill development, all while having as much fun as possible.
I had gotten this kit for my Mother actually as a Mother's Day Gift. Years back we had gotten her butterflies and she had loved them. This past winter I had occasion to see a photo she had taken of butterflies on the ground of a forest path that Mom and Dad had been walking.
This was from the Easter Bunny.
It actually arrived sooner than expected!!
We got the kit WITH the caterpillars. Just so you know....in the 4 days prior to Easter those Caterpillars more the DOUBLED in size.
We really enjoyed this kit! The kids looked forward to waking up every morning and seeing how the caterpillars had grown and watching them hatch was really delightful.
Its the 2nd day and now ALL the caterpillars are MOVING and ALIVE. Whats more we noticed that even though I ordered the 1 caterpillar pack. They sent us 12. Which was super nice since its in the mid of winter and they wanted to make sure at least some would make it. Now we have 12 healthy AWESOME BiG caterpillars. There so active. Its really cool for kids. We love it.
This is the 4th year in a row I have bought live caterpillars. They are such a great gift for kids. I use them in my classroom with special needs students to study the life cycle.
