Ants are easy to find on a sidewalk, so these pages pair well with a bug hunt. Kids can count the six legs and three body parts. Real ants are usually black, brown or red. Underground tunnel pages are a great way to talk about how ants live in big groups and share jobs like digging, finding food and caring for babies.
For tunnel scenes, color the soil in brown and leave the tunnels light so the ants stand out. A trail of fingerprint ants in black ink makes a quick add-on.
Fun facts to share while you color

- Ants live together in large groups called colonies.
- Each colony has at least one queen ant that lays eggs.
- Ants leave scent trails so other ants can follow them to food.
- Ants can carry things much heavier than their own bodies.
Ways to use these ant pages
