Teacher Gift Idea | Butterfly in a Jar
I love teacher appreciation week … but sometimes coming up with fun and unique ideas can be overwhelming. The kids and I found these fun Butterfly jars at Big Lots (our Big Lots has them on sale for $7.99 this week!) and they are so neat!
First of all, although BOTH of my children’s teachers thought they received a “real” butterfly, this is not real…but a fun and very realistic replica… and it moves so lifelike that you forget that it’s not real!
Where to purchase: If you have a Big Lots, I would check their first as ours had a HUGE selection, but you can also find them on Amazon where they start at around $15.00. See the selection here.
The Amazing Blue Morpho “Butterfly in a Jar” – Part of the Butterfly Collection ™
Ever dreamed of keeping a butterfly in a jar forever? Now you can! The Butterfly in a Jar gift is like nothing you have ever seen. Unpackage the glass jar and activate the switch located inside the lid. No all you need to do is just tap the lid and watch the “butterfly” fly around in a surprisingly lifelike way.
Powered by three AAA batteries (supplied with the butterfly), the “My Butterfly” product is a unique feat of micro-electronics. Everytime you tap the glass bottle you can watch “My Butterfly” fly, flap and flutter.
Gently tap the jar once for instant action! One tap willl wake your butterfly up , two taps will make it flutter and three taps will make it flap around the glass bottle. The butterfly is also activated by ambient noise and music. There is no need to turn the “My Butterfly” off; batteries last in standby mode for months ready for a tap to awaken.
The Blue Morpho “My Butterfly” is one part of the “Butterfly Collection” range. The Blue Morpho shown above can also be complemented by other versions which feature a Swallow Tail Butterfly, Pink Morpho Butterfly and finally the Monarch Butterfly.
How we turned this into a teacher’s gift? We made a little tag with this quote:
The kids love watching the butterfly and I love that this gift is something that can be enjoyed year after year! This butterfly uses very little battery, so you can leave him “on” all the time, and when you tap the lid he will “wake” up and then he does these little resting flutters when he is not moving that look so real!
