Discount Fascinations Antworks Illuminated with Green

Customer Ratings:

I got htis for my 2 year old girl who was facinated by ants outside. The gel is perfect since they can drop the ants and all is well. The top is secure and they can get it off )at least the little kids). She has dropped it really hard and it cracked but only visibly, you cant feel the crack and the unit is still just fine. She loves to carry it around with her and watches it constantly. Perfect gift!!! I ordered from life studies.com and ordered the ants for $5 at the same time, they came very quickly and all alive. I think if you ordered separately it would take forever and the kids would have to wait. They start tunneling within a day or so and is really cool to watch.

After reading numerous reviews on all the ant farms out there, I decided on this green Antworks farm. I'm so glad I did! I picked the color green because it is my son's favorite color-got it for our 9 year old son for Christmas and after only 5 days, the ants have connected some tunnels and are very active. We keep it on our kitchen counter because everyone in the household is interested in watching them. The LED light is great and makes it easier to see the activity and the ants-I would definitely recommend it even though it cost more for the light. I ordered the ants through Antsalive-they had an option for the ants to arrive a little before Christmas or a little after. I picked after and they arrived just 3 or 4 days after Christmas in a tube, all alive. It has been a great, educational experience. It is smaller than the large sand antfarm my brothers had when I was growing up. But I really like the gel instead of sand and my son doesn't know the difference. He is so proud of it and likes to show it off-he thinks it is "so cool!". It has more of a curved futuristic look to it, you can see the ants from all sides and through the top. I would like to get the Antworks multiple farms that connect together, now that I know first hand how great a product it is.

We loved the gel ant farm! It was so much fun for adults and children alike to watch as the ants began digging within the first 24 hours and making connections from tunnel to tunnel throughout the week. Even now that the are done "building", it is still fun to watch them moving throughout the tunnels. I would highly recommend this to anyone -young or old. It is especially neat to watch at night as the underlying lights illuminate the whole thing and make it fun to watch both day and night.

Honest reviews on Fascinations Antworks Illuminated with Green

This is a fun toy with a great learning experience. It is more difficult to work than a older child can usually do. Our kit came with older dried

"green ingredients" that we worked around. The bottom had caked so there was a gap where the ants seemed to make a easy home instead of tunneling.

Even with all this (and i would hope yours came with softer and newer ingredients) it was a great learning experience and something for the whole family to watch. It has been 4 months now and we are still watching these smart little creatures work and exist but will let them go in a few weeks to make a new home in the wild.

I was a little hesitant to get this for my 7 year old, but after reading the reviews I was convinced to give it a try. This has been a delight to watch for the whole family. We have been taking pictures of the ants progress and watching them work. It is so amazing. It has been 5 days and they have built through out the whole farm already. Although the harvester ants do sting....you will not need to come in contact with them. When we ordered the ants, they came in a vile and they were practically frozen and they weren't moving. So we waited for them to start wiggling around a bit and then dumped them in. The lid is air tight and it is very hard to get the lid open. I doubt my son could get it open. Not that he even wants to. Everyone should do this at least once in their childs life. It is truly fascinating....
