Making “Goal Worms” at Home

**Paper circles, pipe cleaners, and printed instructions available at The Richards Library**


Shelby’s Goal Worm

Supplies needed: 

5 construction paper circles 

2 pieces of pipe cleaner 

Glue, tape, etc. 

Scissors 

Markers, crayons, etc. 

Step 1: Gather your supplies 

Step 2: Glue (or tape, etc.) your circles together to make the worm body 

Step 3: Twist the pieces of pipe cleaner together, cut in half, and then attach to your worm 

Step 4: Decorate your worm 

Step 5: Think of and then write down 4 goals for fall on your worm 

What is a goal?  For me, a goal is an idea, skill, habit, and more, that I am working to reach.  What does goal mean to you?

Shelby’s goals for this fall: 

  1. Stick to a bedtime, because sleep is important for your health. 
  2. Enjoy sunshine and fresh air every day. 
  3. Make time to call people you love. 
  4. Read. Read. Read!
