Teaching Children About Worms
Children LOVE worms.
It’s a fact that holds true time and time again.
I was recently invited to give a presentation about worms to an entire pack of cub scouts. Normally, I’m not able to coordinate my schedule to work with kids, but because this meeting was in the evening, and close to my home, I agreed to come out.
We set each child up with a mini worm bin, some soaked newspaper bedding, a small piece of watermelon, a handful of worms, and for a special treat, each child was given their very own Alabama Jumper!
Although Red Wigglers are very cool, given the choice between a worm that “JUMPS”, and a Red Wiggler that slowly crawls underneath paper bedding, obviously the kids were focused on making their Jumpers…Jump!
After seeing the excited faces of each Cub Scout, I realized that Wormy Birthday Parties could be an extremely successful venture!
Because the venture was so successful, I’m going to be publishing my presentation so others can use it as an outline for teaching kids all about worms.
