Good luck with that!
Thanks ;) Think we might need it!
We seem to be going through an insect phase in our house too… Is that blue stuff what they live in??
Apparently so… it’s some kind of special gel?!
How does one collect ants without squishing them in the process?
#alphabetphoto
Carefully :) Actually, an envelope was employed to scoop them up and drop them in!
And don’t tell mum turned mom, but we used some of her jam as bait… They had a big jammy feast before their relocation.
I’m fascinated by the ant farm. Is it jelly-like and they burrow down into it? Love your son’s concentration. He looks almost unaware of you. #AlphabetPhoto
It’s a special gel, I believe it was designed for use in space, it has all the nutrients etc. that the ants need!
Oh I do hope they survive! :) x #alphabetphoto.
Me too… :)
Ewwwww! Hope the lid doesn’t come off ;-) great shot
So do I, I’m keeping a close eye on them!
Aww bless him! Looks like he’s taking his role very seriously too. I can see this project is going to be so much fun, thank you for joining in #alphabetphoto
If the ants survive… Keeping my fingers crossed!
Love this pic – such intent focus! Good luck :)
Thank you x
I couldn’t find the post you linked to #letkidsbekids but wanted to return the visit you made to my Blog :) This is a lovely picture, his concentration is so evident! What is the blue gel?
It’s a special gel that was developed for ant farms in space (yes, really!). It has all the nutrients, water etc. that the ants need in it, so it’s a self-sustaining ‘world’… we’ll see!
Oh good luck. I have no luck with houseplants so would be terrified of looking after ants!
The whole thing is supposed to be a self-sustaining little world for them… we’ll see!
Now that is right up my street! I’m sure this is a project we’ll be doing in future years #alphabetphoto
Definitely, Monkey would love it!
Interesting! Ants are pretty resilient so I think they will be there for the longest time =) #AlphabetPhoto
I hope so, I’m not convinced they’ve worked out they can eat the gel!
That’s very cool. My son loves mini beasts so I think this sort of thing may well be in our future!
Yeah, my boys are fascinated!
I feel like these ants need spacesuits….. Here’s my A for #AlphabetPhoto x
I think so too :)
I have plenty in my garden he can have!! #AlphabetPhoto x
He he, so do we!
Good luck I hope they last a while! I won’t let my son do things like this any more as he left the lid of his ant farm and I was terrified they’d be crawling in my bed! lol
Oh no! I am keeping a close eye on these, and they’re not going upstairs :)
Good job Grace hasn’t seen this – she would love it! Good luck with it :) #alphabetphoto
Ha! Well, they seem to be surviving so far…
Great shot – he look so pleased with himself too! Hope he doesn’t escape! xx
He was quite pleased to have caught some :)
Oooooh ants make me feel all itchy! Make sure the lid doesn’t come of :-) x
Ha! I’m keeping a close eye on them :)
Very cool!
Thank you x
I’ve debated getting one of these for The Boy but I’m too scared in case they escape. Hope yours last a while1

Thanks, I’m keeping a close eye on them!
Good luck with your ant farm and your alphabet photo project. Lovely idea.!!!
Thanks Jenny!
I remember catching worms for a worm farm when my Brother and I were little..it was great fun. Good luck with all your ant catching and keeping :)
Thank you, they seem to getting on quite well so far :)
I have always wanted one of these blue gel ant farms! Great photo! #alphabetphoto
Thank you, the ants seem to be doing okay at the moment…
