Perfect for our 3rd grade class!
The silkworms arrived healthy and active. The included leaves were fresh, and the kids loved watching them grow every day. Great educational tool.

Good start, needed more leaves
The larvae are cute and easy to care for. We ran out of the provided leaves faster than expected, but ordering more was simple. Highly recommend having extra food ready.

Great fun for homeschooling
My kids are learning so much about biology. The only reason for 4 stars is that shipping took one day longer than estimated, but the worms were fine.

Amazing life cycle observation
Watching these babies turn into cocoons was magical. The instructions were clear, and the support team answered my questions quickly. A wonderful spring activity.

Exceeded expectations
Very well packaged to ensure safety during transit. The variety of larval ages allows for immediate observation of different growth stages. Fantastic product.
Q: Is this kit safe for young children to handle?
A: Yes, silkworms are gentle and safe to handle. However, we recommend adult supervision to ensure hands are clean before touching them and that they are handled gently to avoid injury.
Q: Can I use lettuce if I run out of mulberry leaves?
A: No, silkworms strictly eat mulberry leaves. Lettuce or other greens do not provide the necessary nutrients and can be harmful to them. Please order extra leaves in advance.
Q: What temperature is best for raising these silkworms?
A: Ideally, keep your silkworms in a room between 75°F and 85°F (24°C - 29°C). Avoid direct sunlight or drafts which can cause temperature fluctuations.
Q: How long does it take for them to spin a cocoon?
A: From the stage received (ages 1-4), it typically takes about 2 to 3 weeks for them to reach full maturity and begin spinning their cocoons, depending on temperature and feeding.
Q: How often do I need to feed the silkworms?
A: Silkworms should be fed fresh mulberry leaves daily. Ensure the leaves are dry and free from pesticides. Remove any old, dried-out leaves before adding new ones.
