Today (6/17/13) at the Under the Sea camp, the children at Center for Possibilities created individual art projects by worm painting...Yes, they painted with real live worms...squishy, squiggly worms! Watch them make their art projects (with the assistance of the teachers), as they squealed with delight (mostly)!
