    Today I'm going to share how to make a cute Worm Pencil Holder craft with your child. You may already have all the supplies you need at home. I love this craft because it's simple to do and repurposes paper tubes which usually get thrown out. You get to use something in a new way and create something useful. That's what I call a win-win!

    Why your kids will love this DIY pencil holder

    With a lot of kids doing the virtual learning thing, giving them a work space where they keep their stuff organized has become very important. My kids are lucky enough to have desks where they do their schoolwork. But it can be challenging for them to keep their supplies and materials organized to make them easy to get to. All this helps to make it easier to complete their work in a timely fashion. This worm pencil holder craft is not only adorable, but it's really functional. Make one with your kids and have them place it on their desk or wherever they are doing their school work to hold pencils, pens, markers, even a small pair of scissors. Basically all the things that are typically cluttering up a desk.

    HOW DO YOU MAKE A PENCIL HOLDER CRAFT WITH PAPER TUBES?

    The base of the worm's body will be made using toilet paper tubes. You will be using 4 tubes.  Measure and cut four green pieces of construction paper so they cover the tubes.

    Glue the construction paper on to the toilet paper tube.
