Daily History: Creation of Ant Farm

March 4th 2007 06:19
Today marks one of the most popular educational toy invented in 1956, which is the ant farm.



The classic "ant farm" educational toy, a live ant habitat enabling children to have fun and learn while observing ants, was invented by Milton Levin in 1956. He dreamed up the idea for the ant farm after observing busy ants at a family picnic, and "Uncle Milton's Ant Farm" became an instant icon of American pop culture. After sales of more than 25 million, the toy remains popular. The scientific term for an ant farm is formicarium.


Antarctica is the only continent that does not have ants, apart from those in ant farms.
