Earth Day 2026 Butterfly Raise and Release

Raise Them. Watch Them. Release Them.

Celebrate Earth Day in the most magical way by raising and releasing your very own native butterflies with Fantasy Island Toys.

This special Earth Day Butterfly Raise and Release includes a LIVE Butterfly Growing Kit featuring five baby caterpillars and everything your family needs to observe the incredible butterfly life cycle up close. Over approximately three weeks, children will watch their caterpillars grow, form chrysalides, and emerge as beautiful Painted Lady butterflies.

After enjoying your butterflies in their habitat for several days, join us on Saturday, April 25, 2026 for our community Earth Day Butterfly Release party as we gather in Fairhope to let them take flight and help pollinate our environment.

This is hands on science.
This is real life learning.
This is wonder unfolding right before your eyes.
