Take a large peanut butter jar (empty and cleaned) and place a baby food jar upside down inside it. Fill the peanut butter jar with sand. Make some holes in the top of the jar with a nail or screw. Add a little honey or jelly every few days, along with a little water. Now gather up some ants from outdoors. After you've closed the lid, be sure to stop up the holes with cotton so the ants don't get out. Now, remember to keep a cloth over the jar whenever you're not observing it. This way the ants will make really cool tunnels right near the sides, instead of hidden deep to avoid the light.
