There is a reason little kids dig up worms in the dirt and take care of them. These "clubs" they make are fun, it's automatically a popularity machine, they're popular with young kids, and they don't have to spend the whole day hearing their parents whine about how "noneducational" it is. They are more likely to dig up in the dirt, having an good (see above) excuse for dirty hands and not have to worry about your nails if you're a girl because they'll get dirty anyway. Even other kids will grow more popular, thanks to word of mouth.


Plus, worms can regrow themselves!


Why is all that true? Why do kids take worms out of our planet when it could be inappropriate? Because you're putting the worm in a stable place anyway. As long as you put it in a jar with dirt, natural decorations, and friends, he'll be okay. You'll be able to learn about worms, and how to take care of them. It really is that simple.


Plus, they can regrow themselves! Wait. Already said that.


This article will explain some of the basic rules behind making a worm nursery, and will focus on pet-keeping and will touch a little on the dangers of worms. And worms can... Ahhh, forget it. The reason kids who make worm clubs are so popular.

Tips

  • Decor: Dandelions, Clovers, Rocks, Sticks.
  • You might want to read Junie B Jones Smells Something Fishy (even if you're too old for that book), for a good look at adopting worms. She adopts a worm, and tries to make living comfortable for him.

Warnings

  • Do NOT put your fingers in your mouth after handling a worm in the sun. They get very ill, and if you touch one, then put your fingers in your mouth, your change of throwing up soon is very high.
  • If you dunk some things out of your glass jar it might have you accidentally loose the worm. So if friends are annoying just take them out by themselves.
  • Glass breaks, so use plastic instead.

Things You'll Need

  • worms
