Great gift & teaching tool | Butterfly Garden
Over the past weeks (if you follow me on Snapchat @doitonadime or watched my family vlog) you’ve seen us share about our butterfly garden and what a beautiful learning tool it has been for Carson.
So many of you have sent me snaps and messages asking where I got the kit and if I would recommend it. Wholeheartedly YES! It makes a great birthday present on a budget (just $18) and is a perfect teaching tool for kids of any age.
You buy the full kit that comes with a butterfly tent, a feeding tube, and instructions for hatching butterflies from caterpillars. The caterpillars are free and you just pay $5 do have them shipped to your door.
Ours arrived in a couple of days with all the food they need to survive until they turn into a chrysalis. Then, transfer your chrysalis to the butterfly garden, wait for them to hatch, feed them fruit and flowers, and finally release them.
The entire process takes about 3 weeks. If it’s 55 degrees or warmer in your area for the foreseeable future, this would be a great adventure to start with your kids!
A few tips we learned along the way:
- When our 5 caterpillars arrived, it looked like some of them were dead. They are just very inactive after shipping and bounce right back after a couple days when they start eating.
- Insect Lore guarantees that 3/5 caterpillars will become butterflies or your money back. All 5 of ours hatched.
- The butterflies prefer fruit to sugar water. We fed ours oranges and apples.
- They will crawl right on your finger when you release them, so don’t miss out on this experience!
Here are more ways you can create a learning experience with your butterflies.

$1 Grocery Organization….from Dollar Tree
Grab Bags (like from the infomercial!) retail for $15, (although you can find them on Amazon for about $7) but Dollar Tree just started carrying them. Two for $1! This is an incredible score and they will help your shopping happen without a hitch. Word to the wise: this product will fly (FLY!) off the shelves.
Dollar Tree first tarted carrying Grab Bags in late June of this year, and recently new shipments are coming into stores. Our store didn’t even have them out of the boxes, yet (we had to ask them to bring out the newest shipment and open for us). We you do go to look for them, they will be in a display right by the entrance. Check your local Dollar Tree…and FAST!
Can’t find Grab Bags at your store? I’ve got ya covered! Five of you will be winning a grab bag box of your very own. I’ll ship anywhere. Love you guys!

Cauliflower Pizza Crust (must see!)
In this episode of #cookingwithcarson we share how easy it is to make a gluten-free cauliflower pizza crust. This is the perfect lunch and snack for kids (and they won’t have any idea they are eating veggies!) It’s budget friendly and healthy. Hope you give it a try!
Here is the recipe for the crust.
NOTES: Follow the recipe above (make sure to really really squeeze out the water from the cauliflower!) and bake for 15 minutes at 400 degrees. Add sauce, cheese, and desired toppings and bake again at 375 for about 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Enjoy!
