ANT FARM

Recommended for ages 6 to 12 years

Taking care of an Ant Farm helps to instill a sense of responsibility in a child. They have to feed and water their ant pets every day. In return, kids can watch the fascinating way ants interact with their environment. Ants are amazing creatures. They scurry around all day long, searching for food and building the nest. In many ways, an ant colony is like an industrious human city: everyone has a job to do and they get on with it.

The Uncle Milton® Ant Farm® is a simple yet effective design to help kids learn more about these fascinating creatures. The ant habitat contains clean sand so the ants can build a network of tunnels for the colony. It also includes a water dropper and a year’s supply of ant food containing all the minerals, vitamins and protein industrious little ants need for good health. Live ants are not included, but you can order them from the supplier. The colony is break resistant and escape-proof, so there is no chance of any ants escaping into your child’s bedroom!
