Ant
Farms - I've
recently come across the fascinting world of ants, and no, it wasn't
in
the pantry! My boss recently got her son an ant farm and it really is
amazing to watch these little critters do their thing. My boss told me
that the blue gel that it comes with was designed by NASA to take ants
into space, and this blue gel provides them with food and water so you
never have to worry about them getting out because you never have to
open the container. You can find them here
at a pretty good price. You'll probably find you'll be just as
interested as your child.
