I love arts and crafts! For my 2024 blog, I’ve chosen an arty craft for each letter of the alphabet. I’ll post them, in alphabetical order, throughout the year.
I wish I could take credit for inventing this arty ant playground project, but I found it in a magazine when I was teaching first grade. I made it with my students every year. The kids loved working on this paper sculpture project. One year, a student complained to me that he put his ant playground outside and it didn’t attract even one ant.
You can make this craft with children of all ages. It takes about 30 minutes to complete. The craft is a favorite of the creative kids and the technical kids. When they’ve finished making the ant playground, most children like to explain how the ants will interact with their creation.
This is a fun one! Enjoy!
