Worm Coloring Sheets
On the free printable below you can see the different segments that make up a worm's body.
In the white spaces it would be fun to draw soil, sticks, bugs, and leaves.
The next worm coloring sheet features one large worm. Your kids can have fun labeling the different parts of a worm.
They can even draw the different parts of the worm's body including its digestive system.
Or they can have fun coloring it to resemble a worm they find outside.
Have you ever dug into the soil and found a worm?
Finding a worm in the dirt is a great sign. Worms eat the dirt and break down organic matter within the soil.
Worm castings are then released and add nutrients back into the ground. Plants then use these nutrients to grow.
Books are wonderful resources to use when learning about topics in nature and science.
The children's book Wonderful Worms by Linda Glaser is a great story for kids of all ages.
Colorful illustrations and simple text explain all about these animals in a fun and creative way.
Perfect for kids who are practicing their letters, the sheet above has room to write the word worm. Or even capital and lower case W.
Young children love finding worms outside. Pair this sheet with a worm hunt or worm observation.
Digging for worms along with coloring in these pages are both great ways to practice fine motor skills. Along with hand-eye coordination.
Plus learning all about worms is just plain fun!
Additional Garden Activities
Hopefully these worm coloring pages have inspired you to head outside and learn about worms with your kids.
There is so much nature to explore even within a small space. Worms like to live where it is dark and damp.
You can often find them within wet leaf liter or hiding under a rock in the shade.

Julie, Spring is a wonderful time! Do you have any activities for birds , like make your own bird nest, use items and pick up your food ( depending on your type of beak) ?
Julie says
Hi Cindy! I LOVE both of those ideas! I dont currently have anything, but I do have books about birds (some focus on nesting) along with bird bingo. Kids can compare and contrast the different birds on the bird bingo cards.
