As you may remember, JDaniel wanted a pet a few weeks ago. We needed something dander free that is low maintenance. While attending an Earth Day workshop at the Upstate Children’s Museum, JDaniel adopted about fifty pets. They are English earthworms and they live in a compost box.
We shredded paper and then received a bunch of wiggly, giggly worms.
JDaniel loves to feed them and check to make sure the box is moist enough for them. He even talks to them to make sure they are okay.
In honor of JDaniel’s new pets, we have a muffin tin that celebrates worms. JDaniel had worms made of whole-grain waffles to dip in tomato sauce. Worms like debris from plants so, cheese flowers and their scraps were included. A segmented mandarin orange worm and two candy worms finish out the tin.
