Wonderful World of Worms

Excursion Program Overview

Discover how worms can help to reduce your waste!  A story, song, puppets and real live worms help children to explore worms’ favourite foods and more.  Visit our Incredible Shrinking Machine in minibeast costumes to imagine what the worms and their friends get up to!

Your program includes:

• A storybook introduction to get tuned in.
• Compost Bin Exploration – Children dress up in minibeast costumes and venture through our “Incredible Shrinking Machine” into our giant compost bin to discover the creatures that make it their home.
• Worms Up Close – Investigate our wonderful wriggly worms and discover how they move and feed.
• Worm Puppets – Explore what foods belong in the worm farm or compost bin with the help of our worm puppets.
• Worm Song – Through song we help children learn about worms.
