Uncle Milton Giant Ant Farm - Large Viewing Area - Care for Live Ants - Nature Learning Toy - Science DIY Toy Kit - Great Gift for Boys & Girls, Green

Love this! The ants were alive at delivery…but I wish the delivery was handled better in the sense that it was basically a guess when they’d show up in the mail.Many survived. My 5 and 2 year old love watching the ants. Worth the money!

My son absolutely loving it, and honestly, so am I! The setup was ridiculously easy – like, two minutes tops and you're good to go. It comes with a few pieces, but nothing complicated at all. Huge win for busy parents like me!What's really cool is the massive window. Seriously, it makes all the difference. My little guy isn't just using it for ants (though we did try that!). He's been fascinated by putting in rolly pollies and other little backyard explorers. And because the window is so big and clear, we can actually see what they're doing – digging tunnels, moving stuff around. It's way more engaging than I even expected. Plus, it comes with sand, which is super convenient.Honestly, I didn't even realize how much he was learning until we started watching together. We talk about how the bugs move, where they go, what they're doing. It's become this unexpected little science lesson that's actually fun! If you're looking for something that's not only entertaining but also sneakily educational, and a great way to bond with your kiddo, you NEED this. It's sturdy, super easy to get going, and provides hours of fascinating observation. Totally worth it! 👍

I bought this ant farm for my toddler who is 21 mos old. I ordered the ants per the instructions that came with it. Two vials of ants were delivered and I would report that 75% of one vial were alive and 25% of the other vial were alive. Not sure why? We didn't get them shipped during the middle of summer like warnings mentioned in other reviews.The ant farm is very cute and basic. I set up the sand per instructions and dumped the ants in after a short stint in the fridge. In less than 12 hrs they already had tunnels going every which way!We had the ants for about one week and I noticed they really built up the sand against one of the side walls (the real thin part with green caps on the end to connect tubes to other ant farms). I didn't think anything of it until I walked downstairs one morning to see a large ant on my kitchen floor. Upon further inspection, I noticed one of the green caps had been removed and I had about 15-20 ants on my kitchen island! They built the sand up and pushed the cap out!!! (The caps are barely sitting in place and easily dislodged if you're not careful) I ended up having to kill all of the escapees because I was not about to wrangle up some biting freedom-tasting ants and put them back in the farm LOL m. So my suggestion to the company is maybe secure those caps tighter to prevent any future rise-ups from these ants who tried so hard to take over my household HAHA

Our Kids loved this. Great for all ages. Easy to set up, lots of fun to watch when ants arrive. Definitely recommend for the kids. Very educational. Great size and very durable too!!

it was great for a few days but the ants died I followed instructions, when I was a little kid the ant farm lasted for many months

My kid's absolutely loved having ants in this! Worked well, no escapes, and the ants burrowed through the soil particles well!

So fun! It did take longer than I expected for the ants to arrive. You order them AFTER you get the farm.

We ordered this because I had one as a kid and it was an amazing, unforgettable experience. I wanted to share that same joy with my family — but what we got was heartbreaking and dangerous.The first shipment of ants arrived dead, and our kids were in tears. We gave it another shot. The second shipment came in two vials, and again, nearly all of them were dead. More disappointment. More tears.Then it got worse.On the second day, a piece of the enclosure was pushed out by the ants — that’s how flimsy this product has become. Within minutes, ants were loose on our couch, and our child was bitten twice. These ants pack a punch. We had to take our child to the ER.This product is nothing like it used to be. It’s poorly made, unsafe, and deeply upsetting. We’d like a full refund immediately - We would like our money back.
