Wise Ants

We used this ant farm (created from the ant pile in our yard)  in our Sunday School lesson on Proverbs 6:6, so at home we continued our study.

Whenever we get interested in something, we inevitably end up having to find a coloring page about our subject of interest.  Malachi has been working on this ant picture over the past few days.

Today we picked some of our favorite snacks to feed our growing ant pile.  We made guesses as to what they would like the best.

This proved very difficult with three cats continually trying to eat up our experiement. 

Here we are obsrving the ants.  Eventually we dumped the food directly on the ground which helped the ants get the food better. 
 Cheerios and potato chips seemed to be the favorites...

Even for the cats! 

After our observations, we learned some more about ants from our science book:
