Please note:
Montessori materials are NOT toys, but educational materials. Proper use requires appropriate training.
Montessori materials may contain small, rough, sharp, or other elements that could cause injury or damage if used improperly.
It may therefore only be used by children under the supervision of appropriately trained persons and in an appropriate environment.
the 4 models clearly show the development stages of the ant
from egg to larva via pupa to ant
The plastic models are hand-painted and faithfully reproduced.
The ant's eggs are laid in thousands by the ant queen and develop into larvae in ant farming. There they are fed by other ants until they turn into a pupa. After about a week, the colorless or yellow ants slip out of it. 
 only when the skeleton has hardened do the ants leave the building and are actively engaged in protecting and feeding the colony.
Contains small parts and is therefore not suitable for children under 3 years
