Earthworms Are Easy

My daughter is fascinated by earthworms. Can't say I blame her. Earthworms are pretty cool.

With the arrival of spring in central Illinois, it's finally time to get outside and dig in the garden. That means earthworms aplenty.

We worked up this earthworm habitat loosely based on the instructions at We-Made-That.

My daughter was so proud of it that it went to preschool for show and tell at her preschool. Twice.

Every time she digs up another earthworm, it gets added to the habitat. And she's pretty dedicated to adding water via a spray bottle daily.

Thank goodness for a toy / educational product that didn't cost a penny.
