Putting Together the Mini Book The Worm Journal Printable is designed to be easy to print and put together.

Simply cut out each large rectangle {two book pages} as one, and fold in half along the center line. The front and

back cover do not have blue borders on their edges. Each of the two-page sheets have these to guide where

your staples go. Fold those pages in half like you did the cover, and tuck the blue edges into the book spine,

staple them together, and you’ll be sure that no text will be cut off. If your confused, see the photos below:

Worm Facts This is my worm.

The most common type of compost worms are red wigglers.

They have no teeth so you should chop their food and shred their bedding.

Red wigglers are smaller and redder than earthworms.

There are about 1,000 worms in every pound. A pound of red wigglers can eat about a half-

pound of plant-based table scraps a day. They double their population about every 90

days. Red wigglers do best when temperatures are

kept between 50 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit. They have setae {or bristles} on each segment

to help them grip surfaces as they move. When handled roughly, the worms emit an

odor to repel predators.
