Discount Butterfly Growing Kit & FREE Butterfly Life Cycle Coloring Pages

Well we’re all living our frugal plan and trying to save bunches of money but that doesn’t mean we have to miss out on the things in life that bring special pleasures to small children…..like butterflies! I found a great FREE Butterfly Life Cycle Coloring page and a discount Butterfly growing kit! My kids have one of these and we purchase butterfly larvae every year and grow new ones!

Well for years and years I planted zinnias because I had read that butterflies love zinnias. One year when I was pregnant I was just unable to get out and plant like I had always done before…. very problem pregnancy. So I had a small spot of mint that I let take over and go to flower. To my amazement, the flowers were beautiful and we discovered 3 times as many butterflies. Butterflies like mint flowers more than zinnias! It was a hit…. by accident! Mint grows quickly, requires pretty much no attention what so ever, is hard kill even if you don’t have a green thumb and butterflies love it!. I don’t even bother with zinnias any more. I don’t have the cost of buying the seeds, fertilizers, or the care of them and I have tons of butterflies! We’re quite happy! See the image above – my mint garden is 25% in bloom and we’ve already received lots of beautiful visitors!

Well there is also a great deal on butterfly kits right now. We have a butterfly kit and we get new caterpillars (in the mail) every single year. Butterflies are naturally tame and when you get the caterpillars and hatch them, they’ll sit right on your finger! Its really neat! These Butterfly growing kits are just $12.51 right now! (This butterfly kit was almost $30 so the other links for $12.51 is a great deal in my book) Enjoy the rest of your summer, buy a butterfly kit for a fun learning science type of adventure, and release onto your mint garden! Its easy, fun and frugal!
