GeoSafari® AntZone by Educational Insights

So much like a real ant hill that ants behave as if they weren't even confined! AntZone features a unique rounded-lip design to allow kids to watch their pet ants roam the open-air expanse of this container without worry that they'll escape. Getting started is easy. Children simply fill the AntZone with sand, use the tunnel starting tools to create canals for ants to travel, fortify the sand with the special Sugar Cement nutrient formula, and watch Harvester Ants forage and explore! Includes dual magnifier, tweezers, water dropper, and an ant-sized watering hole. Also comes with a 17" x 22" full-color "All About Ants" poster that describes the ant reproductive cycle, five types of ants, and ant behavior. Instructions for setting up the AntZone habitat are on the back of the poster. Ants are shipped separately in 2-4 weeks with the mail-in coupon provided (nominal additional fee required for shipping, handling, and insurance).
