Daughter insists on Worm theme for her birthday party

My daughter is turning 5 soon and we are planning her birthday party. She insists on having a worm theme for her birthday. I have no idea how I'm going to pull that off. I googled worm cake and worm decorations and there's not much. I'm not very creative so I thought I would turn to Reddit for help/ideas.

What a cool kid! I’m a (sea) worm taxonomist. I can’t guarantee I’ll be available, but if you’d be interested in having a little zoom or recorded presentation about worm science at the party, feel free to send me a message!

Who says parties can’t be educational? I don’t know about you, but I’d love to hear about the science of worms — I’m betting this worm-loving kiddo would, too!

Sometimes, simplicity is key. And in this case, pretty humorous, too!
