Wiggle Worms
Materials:
- pipe cleaners
- wooden beads for the head
- plastic beads for the body
- fine tip marker
Directions:
- Choose a pipe cleaner to make the body.
- Thread the wooden bead onto the pipe cleaner. Bend the end of the pipe cleaner to keep the head on.
- Thread beads onto the pipe cleaner.
- Preschoolers can practice making a pattern with the beads (such as red, green, blue, etc.)
- When the wiggle worm is as long as you like, trim the extra pipe cleaner. Bend the stem to keep the beads from falling off.
- Use the marker to draw a face on the worm.
