Step #1:
Paint your paper roll with your green paint. You may need more than one coat, depending
on the thickness of your paint. Set is aside to dry.
Step #2:
Get a piece of white paper and fold it in two. Cut a circle out of the paper, leaving a small
section uncut so the two circles stay attached.
Draw two black pupils in the center of each.
Step #3:
Pick a color of pipe cleaner. Cut out one long length and two short lengths.
Make the long length into a figure 8, then attach the two shorter lengths to either side of
the “8” (the top and bottom of the 8).
Step #4:
Grab a piece of green paper (to match the color of your paper roll). Cut out two hand
shapes.
Make sure these shapes are proportional to the size of your paper roll.
Step #5:
With more construction paper you are now going to make the book for your bookworm.
Cut out a rectangle for the cover (in the color of your choice), cut out two smaller
rectangles from white paper for the pages of your book.
Step #6:
Glue these all together at the folds of the papers. Be sure the colored paper is on the
outside and the paper inside.
Step #7:
Grab your two green hands we cut in step 4, glue one hand on each side of the book.
Set this aside to dry.
Step #8:
Now, once your paper roll is dry, glue on the eyes you made in step 2.
Underneath the eyes, use your black marker to draw a mouth and a tiny nose.
