Antic Ants Game

Antic Ants Game.  They are manufactured for us by Uncle Goose Blocks in Basswood and are a full 1-3/4 inches and printed with ink from an American company.  The ink is tested by a national laboratory for safety and the blocks are additionally tested after manufacture for safety and the absence of harmful chemicals.  They conform to both American and European standards for safe toys. This a great little game for youngsters old enough to recognize ants.


Antic Ants Game

Maybe our kids are just peculiar, but at an early age they were fascinated with ants wandering around on the sidewalk, and Song was particularly careful not to step on them playing hopscotch or while using sidewalk chalk.  She would inspect what they were lugging around, noted the big ones and the little ones, and liked to build enclosures around them which were inevitably unavailing as the ants simply climbed up and over.  This is a good toy for a rainy day.  It requires matching up the ant trails until you get to home base.  It has an open character vaguely like a simple version of a Rubik's Cube.
