I have always been fascinated by earthworms. Seriously. They can stretch themselves out so long, and then bunch back up. Earthworms are often called nature’s plow. That’s because it uses it’s head to push through the earth. It’s HEAD! If the soil is too hard, it simply eats it’s way through. Did you know that there are about 6000 species of earthworms around the world? It doesn’t have lungs, so it breathes through it’s skin. Earthworms are awesome, which is what makes this E is for Earthworm Alphabet Craft so fun!
