Have you seen worms outside lately? They may be eating your garden, but soon they will turn into beautiful caterpillars. Today we’re going to make our own wiggly worm puppets.
- Cut off a length (24”) of twine. Thread it through the blunt needle. Tie a knot in the end.
- Run the needle through the center of the pom poms until you have at least six on the string.
- Pull the pom poms slightly apart so that they will move (flow) like a worm.
- Glue two googly eyes on the end pom pom. Cut two 12” lengths of twine.
- Tie one between the head and the next pom pom.
- Tie the other two pom poms from the tail.
- Now tie the loose ends to the paint stick.
Move the paint stick to make your worm dance!
