Ant-O-Sphere 8-Pod

Welcome to the ant farm of the future! There may not be any little hover-boards or teleporters, but the Ant-O-Sphere does feature 8 space-age pods. The pods have 3 viewing lenses to allow your children a magnificent view of the extraordinary behaviors of ants in a setting that is designed to be surprisingly similar to real mega-ant colonies existing in the wild. Your children's ants will feel right at home exploring the different living spaces, which are manufactured to have a clever two-tone arrangement. The clear pods allow maximum visibility and light penetration for the ants, while the red pods give ants the sensation of being underground, where they can't see out but your children can still easily see the ants. And, the Ant-O-Sphere is fully expandable by connecting it to other Ant-O-Sphere kits!

After your child customizes the arrangement of the parts to construct the coolest ant habitat ever, he or she will excitedly observe how the ants decide to organize the colony and utilize the space. Designate certain pods to build gardens, ponds, and even a baby ant nursery to hatch new ants. See if ants clamor to claim the top pod as a bedroom, or if they have any fear of heights and stay down low. Use the included suction cups to attach a pod to a mirror or window and create an ultra-high penthouse apartment that towers over the rest of the colony. From there, the rest of the ants will look like, well . . . ants, but much smaller. No matter how it is arranged, your child will enjoy learning through observation with the Ant-O-Sphere.
