Your very own Ant Farm.
Toy of the Month - March 2009
It's the fascinating world of ants that your children can now watch and study with much interest.
Ants are amazing creatures. They are social creatures that form
colonies. Ants are very hard-workers and are always working towards the
benefit of the colony as a whole. This has enabled them to inhabit
nearly every continent on Earth.
Designed by NASA for a 2003 space trip to study ants in outer space,
the ant farm comes with a gel that supplies the ants with everything
they need to survive. It's their home, food and water all combined in
one special gel, which means you don't have to continually worry about
giving them food and the ants escaping while you do it.
Another great bonus to the gel is that all the tunnels that the ants
create are visible to you, as well as their interactions with each
other. You and your children will be very surprised by the way they
communicate with each other.
The Ant Farm will really spark an interest in science and social
interaction for your child. And if your child already loves to watch
documentaries about insects and animals, then they will love to have an
ant farm.
Probably the only negative that we've found is that sometimes the ants
don't survive. You will receive a coupon when you purchase the ant farm
for the ants themselves, and from time to time they die in the post.
It's for this reason, we give it 4.5 Stars. But of course, unless you
live in Antarctia, you probably have ants that you can use. Moreover,
let's not forget that your child will love to capture them.

If you would like to purchase an Ant Farm, why not compare prices on
the internet. For anyone who has purchased items online before, you
probably already know that Amazon.com is usually one of the cheapest,
so we've got Amazon's best price listed on the left.
Now, you can compare it with the prices from these very competitive
online toy stores below to find the cheapest. We've tried to make it as
simple as possible for you.
