Letter I: Inchworm Craft, The Inchworm Home, Size Sorting, Color Match, Counting Activity (Day 3)

Choose one of the following crafts:

1a) Inchworm Craft from Nancy Nolan's Kindergarten:

• Dip a green fork in green paint and stamp it on the bottom of your paper as grass.
• Dip a potato in green and yellow paint and stamp it in a line creating an inchworm.
• Glue on googly eyes.

1b) Nuudle Inchworm Craft: 

• White Paper
• Green Paper
• Toddler Safe Scissors
• Magic Nuudles
• Black Marker

1. Cut a long strip of green paper to use as the grass. Have your child practice cutting small slits in the grass with a pair of toddler safe scissors. 
2. Glue the grass onto the bottom of your white paper.
3. Draw a black, curved line (resembling an inchworm) as a guide for your child to place the nuudles on. 
4. Have your child dip a nuudle in water and stick it on the black line on your paper.

2) The Inchworms Home from Sugar Aunts: This is a great fine motor exercise!

• Empty Parmesan Cheese container (green can)
• Straws

1. Cut the straws into pieces, resembling inchworms.
2. Help the inchworms go back home, by placing them into the holes.

3) You can print the remaining activities from Confessions of a Homeschooler:

• Inchworm Size Sorting: Talk about different sizes (small, medium, large) and compare them. Put them in order from smallest to biggest.

• Inchworm Color Matching: I printed two sets of inchworms. Match the colors. Option: Hide one set around the room and once it's found, match it to the correct color.

• Inchworm Counting Activity: Count the amount of holes and place the matching inchworm on top. Easton doesn't love counting activities, so I gave him a mini chocolate chip to doing these.
