Worry Worms are perfect for experimenting with colour!

Worry Worms make lovely little handmade keepsakes to let someone know you’re thinking of them.

You could attach a small positive message or gift tag and give one to a friend, family member, teacher, colleague or someone who could simply use a smile.

They’re also quick enough to make in batches for suitable community or kindness projects.
