My four year old son helped me put this together one afternoon while my hubby was at work and my other two kids were at school.
We both had so much fun and at the end of it he said “this reminds me of an ant farm”. Hmmmm……he is four, so I am going to go ahead and take that as a good thing, LOL!! Funny how little kids minds work, right?!
