A whole underground world, right on the desk. This ant farm gives your ants a proper home with rooms to live, eat, drink and dig, and gives kids a front-row seat to one of nature's best teams at work.

Fill the lower chamber with the white sand included and watch the colony carve its own tunnels day by day. Across the top, a row of linked chambers acts as the living, feeding and resting rooms, joined by a winding ant road. The tall water tower on the side keeps a steady supply of moisture, so the ants stay hydrated without you having to open the habitat.

The clear acrylic front means nothing is hidden, and the frame is screwed together so sand and ants stay inside. A child-lock slider on the feeding hatch lets you add food safely. Kids can decorate the top room with the little figure, palm tree and flag to make the castle their own.

At just 23.8 x 14.8 cm, it fits neatly on a bedside table, study desk or bookshelf. A brilliant gift for curious kids, and a science lesson that keeps on going long after the box is open.

Please note: live ants are not included.
