Children in small classes are full of emotions. They like animals. There seems to be an inevitable connection between them. The ever-changing animal world always attracts their great attention. They are always full of curiosity and desire to explore all kinds of animals.
Recently, when children are outdoors, they can often be seen squatting in the grass looking for them ... It turns out that they have a strong interest in small ants. Cute little ants attract children's attention. In their direct contact with ants, many questions have arisen, "Where is the ant's home?" "Does the ant have a mother?" "What do ants eat?" "How long can ants live?" Wait a minute.
It can be seen that ants, as a moving insect, attract children's attention, and the ant world is full of vitality and interest. Whether it is colorful spring or scorching summer, ants can be found everywhere in nature: in beautiful flowers, on lush grass, on the edge of cold corners ...
