WHY SHOP RETAIL?
We love our partnerships with small businesses, retail stores, and homeschooling co-ops: they provide local access (including free pickup!) to caterpillar kits and other Cool Bug Stuff. Shop local: support two small organizations!
These partnerships cut down on shipping fees: the biggest cost chunk on any of our kits.
