How to Make a Wriggly Worm Puppet

Today I’ll show you how to make a wriggly worm puppet that will delight your kids. It’s a really easy craft to make and you probably already have what you need lying around the house.

But if you don’t you can always just improvise, with what you have. Although I’m using heavy construction card (160 GSM) to ensure the humps stay in place when the wriggly worm is moving.

So go ahead, follow the instructions and make a few wriggly worm puppets yourself.
