The rains have arrived in Sydney; a sure sign that Autumn is here. I take a deep breath of the crisp cool air as I savour the arrival of my favourite season. The rains have brought my sons delights of their own. The rains have beckoned worms to the surface. My preschool twin sons N&M poke at the worms with sticks. My toddler son E doesn’t bother finding a stick. He uses his fingers. Squishy worms; Bear Grylls, eat your heart out.

How fun! We tried this with spaghetti noodles not too long ago, yarn next!
I’m still working up the courage to do spaghetti noodles Kelley.
How fun! I love the way the paintings turned out … and the colors of paint that you used! Thanks so much for sharing this great post on the Kids Co-Op Linky!
Such a cute idea. Makes it even more fun when the kids imagine them as real worms!
Thanks Lori. You should see by boys in action with the real worms. (Don’t worry, they don’t paint with them).
