Nature Discovery & Life Cycle Set – Butterfly, Bean Growth & 10 Real Insects in Resin

Nature Discovery & Life Cycle Specimen Set brings the fascinating world of nature directly into children’s hands, providing an engaging way to explore butterfly metamorphosis, bean germination and real insects preserved in clear resin.

Designed to encourage curiosity, observation and scientific thinking, this comprehensive discovery collection allows children to examine natural processes and specimens that can often be difficult to observe closely in everyday environments.

Perfect for early learning centres, kindergartens, preschools, primary classrooms, STEM areas, science tables, nature investigations and home learning.

What’s Included?

🦋 Butterfly Life Cycle Specimen

Explore the remarkable transformation of a butterfly through its different developmental stages. Children can observe and discuss the journey through egg, caterpillar/larva, chrysalis/pupa and adult butterfly, helping make the concept of metamorphosis more concrete and meaningful.

🌱 Bean Germination & Growth Specimen

Discover what normally happens beneath the soil! The bean growth specimen provides children with a visual representation of germination, root development, emerging shoots and plant growth.

It is an excellent resource for exploring plants, gardening, food production and the needs of living things.

🐞 10 Real Insects Preserved in Resin

Encourage children to become young scientists as they closely examine 10 natural insect specimens preserved within clear resin.

Children can observe characteristics such as body shape, wings, legs, colour, size and structure, then compare similarities and differences between specimens.

The clear resin format provides an engaging way to investigate real specimens without directly handling the insects.
