Kids Activity – Worm Farm Explorers
Kids Nature Science Incursion – Experience Worms, Bugs & Microscopes & Mini Ecosystems
THREE Activities-In-One:
Digital Microscopes, Build-A-Worm Bin & Little Worm Farmers Take-Home Drawing!
Hands-On Worm & Bug Science for Schools, Early Learning, Holiday/OSHC, Festivals & Events
What Children Do in This Activity:
A big, buggy, hands-on science experience where kids become real-life environmental scientists.
Guided by Brian the Worm Man, children rotate through interactive stations exploring live worms and composting insects, building a working worm farm, and creating nature-inspired drawings that connect science, creativity, and sustainability.
Kids investigate real composting ecosystems using magnification tools and digital microscopes, discover what worms eat and why it matters, and learn how these tiny creatures help reduce waste and support healthy soil.
Perfect for curious minds, this immersive experience blends environmental education, science discovery, and creative learning in a fun, memorable way.
