❤️Why You’ll Love This Subscription Box

The Wiggle Worms Kit included four to five interactive projects that work on fine motor skills while teaching about the month’s theme.

Included in each box is a pamphlet with step-by-step instructions, all supplies needed to complete the projects, and optional video lessons to go with the crafts.

You can check out the Wiggle Worms Youtube Channel to see examples of the video lessons.

🧵Included Activities

We received the Fall Festival Wiggle Worms Kit. I completed these projects with my almost 3-year-old along with some help from my 6-year-old.

Paper Plate Scarecrow

A scarecrow craft made out of a paper plate.

The first project we completed was the scarecrow paper plate craft. This project included a face, hat, and hair to glue onto the plate along with yarn threading for the mouth.

The threading was a bit tricky for my young preschooler, however, would be perfect for an older preschooler. She loved gluing on the face pieces with the included glue stick.

L is for Leaves

A play dough mat with uppercase and lowercase Ls and yellow play dough.

The L is for Leaves project was a double-sided play dough and dry-erase mat. On one side was an upper case and lower case L that could be traced with the included dry-erase marker and then used as a play dough mat to shape the letters using the included play dough.

The other side of the mat was a reusable active page with a maze and tracing activities.

Counting Corn

A play dough mat with two corn cobs printed on it.

The next reusable play mat with of two corn cobs. This project works on basic math skills. Using the dice and play dough, the child rolls the dice and creates corn kernels from play dough equaling the amount shown on the dice.

My two-year-old enjoyed coloring in the corncobs with the dry-erase marker while her older sister demonstrated the math game.

Corn Maze

This was such a creative activity. The corn maze project included a laminated sheet for the ground along with several interactive pieces to create a 3D corn maze.

Once the corn maze was built, it allowed for open-ended pretend play with the scarecrow as it made its way through the maze.

Leaf Sorting

Two paper leaves cut out on a table and labeled green, red, yellow, orange, along with many different colored fabric leaves.

This project works on color sorting and fine motor skills. I struggled to get the tree to stand up but thought it worked just as well with the tree lying flat. The large tweezers are perfect for little hands and the leaves are durable enough to be saved and used multiple times.

Lantern

This last project was listed as a “bonus activity”. The lantern project worked on my little one’s favorite activity – gluing and sticking. It was an easy enough project that had a fun end result for my kiddos.

📋Honest Review

Note: this post is updated from our original review in 2021. We have completely updated our review using a new box as Wiggle Worms has changed the format of their subscription boxes.

I thought the Wiggle Worms kit was great for preschoolers. I loved that their boxes included open-ended activities and process-based activities and not just precut crafts.

Many of their included activities can be reused multiple times. Some of the included materials could also be left out as an open-ended activity for a preschool-aged child to explore on their own without explicit directions.

I also appreciated that everything was included. I didn’t have to go hunt down a glue stick or dry-erase marker. The materials were good quality, too.

The addition of YouTube videos for each activity is a huge plus. Whether you don’t quite understand the written activities or need to set your child up to work independently while doing something else around the house.

I could see myself subscribing to this box and using it as an activity for my youngest while homeschooling her siblings. She always wants to be included and these age-appropriate activities would work as a good “school” activity for her.

👯‍♀️ Shareability

Can the Wiggle Worms Kit be shared between siblings?

Yes and no. Most of the activities included in the box could be done together or saved for each child to take a turn. In fact, I would say the corn cob math works better with two children. However, the included scarecrow craft only includes enough supplies for one child.
