Ants in the Ground

What to do:

  1. In the summer, go outside looking for ants.
  2. Follow the ants to see if children can find their holes.
  3. Observe to see if the ants are carrying anything.
  4. Try to walk like an ant.
  5. For a snack later, make celery logs filled with cream cheese and sprinkled with “ant” raisins.
