Uncle Milton Giant Ant Farm: My Take

Okay, so I got the Uncle Milton Giant Ant Farm, and I wanted to share what I thought. Basically, it's a clear plastic box filled with sand-like dirt where you put ants. The idea is to watch them dig tunnels and build their little city.

It's pretty cool to see the ants working. You can really see how they organize and work together. My kids were totally fascinated by it for a good long time, which was a bonus! It's also a pretty easy setup. You just put the sand in, add the ants (you have to order those separately), and you're good to go. It's a good hands-on learning experience that gets kids thinking about nature and how insects live.

Finding ants can be a bit of a pain. You usually have to order them online, and then you have to wait for them to arrive. Also, the directions say not to use local ants because they might not do well in the farm, or they could be harmful if let loose. Another thing is keeping the farm moist. If it dries out, the ants won't be able to dig. So, you have to remember to add water regularly, but not too much!

Even though you have to buy the ants separately and remember to keep the farm moist, the Uncle Milton Giant Ant Farm is a neat educational toy. It's a good way to teach kids about bugs and nature, and it's pretty interesting to watch. Just be prepared to order those ants and pay attention to the moisture levels!
