I’m starting to think we’re never going to get through the first week of our gardening thematic study. The kiddos are both loving it and we’ve been taking our time and adding lots of fun stuff for each day’s topic. Today we did this adorable Worm Painting for Kids and both kiddos had a blast with it!
Worms breathe through their skin because they do not have lungs. They help make soil rich with nutrients that help plants grow better. When it rains, worms come up to breathe.
Little kids love wiggly worms and what could be more fun than painting with them? I can’t even get over this adorable process art activity. After all, both my preschooler and second-grader definitely enjoyed it!
