Featuring Worm Weather by Jean Taft
Rain has a rhythm. Worms have a way. And somewhere in the middle of a wet, muddy, joyful afternoon, writing roots take hold.
Inspired by Worm Weather by Jean Taft — a playful, sound-filled picture book that makes children want to stomp in puddles & shout out rhymes — the Rainy Day Box invites children ages 3–6 to explore language, sensation & creativity through hands-on sensory play. As they squeeze, spray, paint, dig & stretch, they're building the fine motor foundation that early writing grows from — without a worksheet in sight.
