April means lots of rain here… which means lots of earthworms to be found in our yard. My girls have enjoyed digging for worms since they were little and have taught their brothers to do the same. It hasn’t been easy to keep my boys’ attention for preschool work at home. I tried to think of a “theme” that would capture their attention and decide on earthworms! Today I’m sharing what we did for our worm lesson: a craft, activity and fun worm facts.
