Take a bite out of the sweet life with the Folkmanis worm in apple finger puppet. This soft toy is a perfect introduction to engage little ones in puppetry playtime with a little peek-a-boo fun! (worm can hide in the apple).
The worm in the apple is a picture every child knows, from board books and cartoons to the proverbial bad apple. In nature there is no worm behind it at all, but the caterpillar of the codling moth (Cydia pomonella). The female lays her eggs on young fruit, and the hatched caterpillar eats its way through to the core. A few weeks later it leaves the apple again and pupates under the bark of the tree. On the table, by contrast, this worm stays the friendly resident who looks out and ducks away again.
Did you know that apples float because roughly a quarter of their volume is air? It sits in tiny gaps between the cells of the flesh. That is why no apple can be held under the water for long when you go apple bobbing.
