Kid’s Activity – Racing Worms
Racing Worms – Craft, Race & Take-Home Fun
A hands-on worm racing and craft activity where kids design their own racing worm, compete in a fun arena, and take it home to keep the excitement going. Then they get to check out some worms and bugs with Brian.
Get ready for a fast, fun, and creative experience where children design their very own racing worm using recycled materials, then put it to the test in a friendly racing arena, with Brian as the Worm Racing Marshall.
Kids decorate, name, and personalise their worm before attaching it to a simple racing system.
Once the race is on, it’s all about cheering, competing, and having fun while learning through play.
The best part? Every child takes their racing worm home to continue racing with friends and family and help share their stories at home.
