Antworks was a big hit in Kindergarten!

5-20-2011 - by Debbie Henderson from Endicott , NY

I was pleased with how fast the order arrived, and my ants came later, when I submitted an order for them. It has been a good experience for the kids, and they've been able to see everything up close because the gel is so clear. I thought the container would be a little bigger, but I guess I didn't look at the dimensions closely. Great experience overall, and I would order things from this company again.
