Tent-tastic Butterfly Habitat

I have great childhood memories of an amazing butterfly exhibit at the Bronx Zoo where you were able to walk through an entire room of butterflies as they fluttered about. That’s why I love this Butterfly Bungalow. It’s hands-on and sure to be a meaningful learning experience.

Unlike some of the other butterfly kits out there, The Butterfly Bungalow Habitat, $39.95, provides up-close observation as kids raise their own painted lady butterflies from larvae. The thrill of jumping in the tent with them . . . priceless.

Your little animal can become one with nature in this Squirrel Lounge Set ($50) made by Babyfairies exclusively for Mahar Drygoods. Each set of cotton wood grain printed pants and nice forest friend appliqued shirt is made to order, so you get quality sewing and styling. With those bark-looking pants, mama really is a tree-hugger.
