My son continues to be fascinated by earthworms, so I have been on the internet looking for fun facts and activities to learn more about earth worms. My best internet find so far is:

This link has a wonderful printable that explain how to make a worm box and a worm jar. The second page explains more details about worms.
He had fun making the worm box and even got to take his Grammy on 'worm hunt' to fill up his box. After it was made, we decided that the box would stay outside and we would keep checking on it. He decided to bury the box part way and when I asked why, he explained. "So if any of the worms decide they want to live somewhere else they can crawl out!"
A fun little song to sing while worm hunting (or building your own worm box) is 'Wiggle Worm'!
“Wiggle Worm”
Have you ever seen a wiggle worm,
A wiggle worm, a wiggle worm?
Have you ever seen a wiggle worm
Go this way and that?
Go this way and that way,
Go this way and that way.
Have you ever seen a wiggle worm
Go this way and that?
