I remembered playing with these as a kid so I purchased this set for my daughter. She loves them and has been playing with them nonstop since they arrived. She has even been making some fun videos of them. She is learning how to make them move to look as if they are alive. The worms come on clear strings wrapped around paper tabs. I did remove the tabs and replaced them with thin dowels to give her more control over the worms. We also added some extra clear thread to the middle and tail of a few so that she could have some control over the entire body of the worm.
The worms are about 8 inches long and come in 14 different colors and designs. Each worm has a tiny set of googly eyes glued to their head. My daughter likes to make them climb the stairs and use them to play with her kitten. The kitten chases the worm while my daughter drags it around the floor on an “invisible” string. Simple but super fun!
