Wiggly Worm

Make the King of Composting! This cute wooden worm is loads of fun to create for all ages and is a great way to introduce learning topics such as composting and the important part worms play in our ecosystem.
  • Step 1Thread a length of twine through a large wooden bead. This will be your worm’s head.
  • Step 2Put the two strands of twine together and thread them both through 10 smaller wooden beads. With the last bead, thread a single piece of twine through.
  • Step 3Tie the twine pieces together in a knot. Do not tie the twine too tightly. Make sure the beads have a bit of moving space.
  • Step 4Attach a glue dot to each end of a popstick. These will secure the craft line when it is attached.
  • Step 5Tie a length of craft line around the popstick on both ends where each glue dot is placed.
  • Step 6Tie the other ends of the craft line pieces to the top and middle of the worms body.
  • Step 7Attach two wiggle eyes to the head and use a black marker to add a smile. Your worm is now ready to wiggle!
  • You can decorate or colour your beads if you want to make a bright and colourful Wiggly Worm!
