This fun worm made from colored cardstock is very easy to make and ideal for a craft project with children. It's a quick craft that children over 6 years old can do independently, simply by following the instructions. If the child is younger, it's best to supervise them due to the use of glue, scissors, and the manual dexterity required.
The end result is adorable and can be used for play, decoration, or simply for children to practice their fine motor skills. Are you ready to discover how to make a fun worm with colored cardstock? Don't miss a thing!
What do you need for the craft
- 2 cards one of each color
- 1 mold to make circles of the size you prefer
- 1 black marker
- 1 scissors
- 1 pencil
- 1 eraser
- 1 glue stick
How to make the craft
First, using a circle template (the larger the template, the larger the final worm), trace circles onto the cardstock with a pencil. You'll need to make three circles of each color. In this case, we've chosen orange and yellow to make the fun worm.
Once you have all the circles, fold them in half, except for one (which will form the head). Draw a funny face on the unfolded circle, whatever you like. Then, take each folded circle and put glue on the sides so you can glue one folded circle on top of another.
Next, you'll need to glue on the head. Then, using a scrap of cardstock in a different color than the head, make two antennae that are the right size for the worm. Once you've cut them out, simply glue them to the worm's head, and your fun cardstock worm will be ready!
