Remember ant farms, where industrious ants dig tunnels to the delight of watching children? Well, they're back, but don't expect a return to retro stylings. In this "space-age" habitat, ants burrow through a bright blue gel medium, which provides nutrients and moisture needed for their survival. Kids will love watching the progress of their little pals as they work to create an interconnected maze of tunnels. This timeless toy is not only an enthralling experience for kids, it's also an educational one, honing observation skills, entymological appreciation, and perhaps even inspiring kids by proving that moving mountains may be possible, with a lot of hard work!
