An ant colony is a complex and mysterious place for many of us. What exactly happens in an ant hill? How do their lives function? What parts of the colony do what?

The pieces are textured with paint and felt, the ants are tiny and adorable and the pretend colony is ready to thrive!

Twig and Daisy felt board sets do not have adhesive or hook and loop tape on the back of the pieces. I only use soft felt and it happens to contain a little bit of magic. Felt sticks to felt even on a vertical surface which is really cool! Adding hook and loop tape will actually ruin your felt board adding picks and making it look worn well before it's time.
