As I mentioned previously, we are all obsessed with Magic School Bus lately. We've been watching the first season on Netflix and reading the books from the library. The book called The Magic School Bus Gets Ants in Its Pants suggested this experiment to see what kind of foods ants are attracted to. We put various foods in lids and then set them equal distance from an ant hill in the garden. We waited about 15 minutes and then checked to see which foods attracted the most ants. They actually all had a few ants. The honey was a death trap, but I think the sugar and bread crumbs were the preferred choices.

We also have been regularly picnicking in the back yard. Sometimes with food, like frozen juice pops, sometimes just with books.
