Dan&DarciAnt Farm Kit for Kids - Ants Farms Colony - Sand Habitat Kits - Bug Terrarium House - Educational Science Gifts for Kids - Nature Learning Toys for Boys, Girls & Adults (Sand)

I am sure the ant farm is a great educational resource, but alas that is not why I purchased it. You see, one of our Scouts on the last day of summer camp, had his tent invaded and overran by Fire ants! I mean these ants were everywhere! We ended up putting all his gear in plastic bags and closed them tightly!So, at out awards banquet, guess who got this ant farm as a gift?Now, this ant farm did not come with any ants, but instead with a coupon to purchase them.Thanks for your time in reading this.

Bought this for my son- he is pumped!

This Ant farm is really cool! It was super easy to put together and the plastic is of good quality. I really like it I just wish that it would have came with ants already. So you do have to buy those separately or perhaps collect some from the yard. I think this is a great idea to help teach children all about ants

I originally pressed trust these most super excited to use this with my class. However, after only a few short weeks, the condensation in the container got bad and our thing was overtaken by fruit flies, and our ants all died. The instructions tell you to put water in the sand however I am not sure this was a great idea.I purchased this for my classroom as my students are really hoping to watch ants this summer. It was a little smaller than I thought however, it’s perfect size to be on my desk or in a smaller area with no distraction. Sometimes smaller is better. I can’t wait to watch ants, make their tunnels and habitat with my students.

We were really excited about this ant farm as a fun, educational gift, but unfortunately, it fell short in several areas. While the concept is great, the execution is lacking.The biggest issue is that the kit does not include live ants, and obtaining them is far more complicated than the packaging suggests. We received no working coupon or helpful instructions. When we eventually managed to get ants (by purchasing them separately), they arrived sluggish and didn’t improve much, even with sugar water and care. My kids lost interest after just a few days because the ants were barely active and the farm itself offers very little space for the ants to move around or dig.You’ll also need to spend extra money on food and supplies (like a water dropper) which aren’t included, and tracking the ant shipment isn’t available unless you pay more. It ended up being more hassle than it was worth.Pros:Sturdy habitat that feels secureInformative booklet includedFun educational conceptCons:Live ants not included and hard to obtainNo working couponRequires additional purchases for food/suppliesLittle room for ants to move or digAnts arrived sluggish; kids lost interest quicklySadly, this turned out to be more of a letdown than a learning experience. I’d recommend looking for a more complete, user-friendly kit—especially if this is meant to be a gift.

awesome but dont let ants get out,,fun to watch

We bought 2 of these ant farms and the included sand is weird and not like real sand. The ants can dig in it and creat tunnels but the tunnels will collapse a short time later. The ants have given up and seem to be living a sad life on the surface. The sand was wet before we put the ants in.

Was expecting it to come with ants. But not one of my mom's sisters came included
