Materials:
Pipe cleaners
Bowl
Lint roller
Directions: Use scissors to cut the pipe cleaners into three-inch segments. Bend them slightly so they look more like worms. Scatter the worms on the carpet and show your child how to pick one up with the lint roller. Using your fingers, peel it off the roller and put it in the bowl. Invite your child to hunt for a worm, picking it up with the lint roller and placing it in the bowl with her fingers. The Acorn kids had a great time hunting for worms, dumping the bowl, and hunting for more!
(We used pipe cleaners, but you could also use pieces of yarn for the worms. And if you don’t have a lint roller, you can use a child-safe magnet to pick up the pipe cleaner worms.)
