School Starter Kit Insects - Complete Educational Insect Breeding Kit

School Package Introduction to Insects – The wonderful world of insects in the classroom!

This school package contains a complete collection of products to introduce children to insects in an interactive and incredibly educational way. Specifically designed for schools, childcare organizations (out-of-school care/daycare), host parents, and nature education centers. No more separate projects, but three fascinating insect worlds combined in one unique teaching package!

Package Contents

The package contains the following products, components, and teaching materials:

• Gel Ant Farm including ant family and food/care
• Butterfly breeding kit (including coupon for ordering fresh caterpillars)
• Netcage breeding cage (30x30x30 cm) including a variety of stick insect nymphs
• 3x Physical Life Cycle Models of 3 different insects
• 3x Detailed lesson instructions for the teacher or supervisor
• 30x Reward stickers for the children in the classroom or group (more available on request)
• Booklet 'Ants are heroes!'

1) Gel Ant Farm (Including Ant Family)

Let the ants do their work and watch a complete tunnel system emerge before the children's eyes! The Gel Ant Farm is based on technology developed by NASA to study life in a weightless environment. It is an entirely self-supporting system: the transparent, blue gel serves as food, moisture, and shelter.

• Included: Blue Gel Ant Farm (16.5 x 15.2 x 3.2 cm), Ant Family (approx. 15 worker ants), magnifying glass, instructions, and the booklet 'Ants are heroes!'.

2) Butterfly Breeding Kit – Experience the Metamorphosis

Become part of nature and observe up close the wonder of a caterpillar transforming into a beautiful butterfly!

How does it work with the caterpillars?
The school package is available immediately. In the box, you will find a coupon for 3 to 5 fresh caterpillars. With this, you can order your caterpillars directly from the breeder online (paying for international shipping costs). You can select your desired delivery time. Note: Butterfly breeding is possible from March to September.

The caterpillars grow quickly thanks to the included food, pupate into shiny cocoons, and emerge as real butterflies in the included foldable **30 cm Butterfly Habitat**. Observe them for a few days in the classroom and then release them festively into nature!

3) Netcage Breeding Cage 30x30x30 cm (Including Stick Insects)

A super handy, lightweight breeding cage made of sturdy, fine-mesh netting in a compact size (30 cm high x 30 cm wide x 30 cm deep). This breeding cage provides optimal ventilation and living environment for stick insects and other insects.

With this set, we supply a nice variety of young stick insects (nymphs). These can be, for example, Indian stick insects (which easily live on ivy/Hedera), Australian leaf insects, or Black Beauties. Children learn how fantastically these animals can camouflage themselves!

Educational, complete, and directly applicable

With the 3 included lesson instructions and the tangible 3D models of the different life cycles, teachers and out-of-school care supervisors have all the tools to create a series of inspiring nature lessons.
