What you'll need
- crispy rice cereal treats
- butter
- fruit leather

How to make it
Whip up a batch of crispy rice cereal treats, using your favorite recipe.
Using buttery hands, mold the rice mixture into worm shapes (ours are about 5 inches long).
Add three strips of fruit leather to each worm, securing the overlapping ends of each strip with a dot of water.
Wrap the worms in plastic wrap, then add two googly eyes.
Loop a pipe cleaner around the worm's neck and twist it together at the top. Curl the ends into antennae.
