Spider Activities
Nov
We did several spider activities last week and I wanted to get them all posted before Halloween, so I decided to just post all of them in one post.
Spider Web:
Here’s what you’ll need- paper plate with slits cut in the sides, tape, 3 pieces of yarn about 3 feet long, and a spider.
Tape the yarn to the back of the plate and then weave the yarn in and out of the slits cut in the plate. When you get close to the end of the yarn tape it on the back of the plate and start another piece of yarn. Add the spider on to the last piece of yarn.
The finished spider web.
The Very Busy Spider:
Here’s what you’ll need: paper, gray crayon, marker, stamp pad and The Very Busy Spider by Eric Carle.
Use your crayon to make a rubbing of the spider web.
Stamp your finger print onto the paper. Add some legs.
The finished spider web.
Spider Craft:
Here’s what you’ll need: black paint (or if you don’t have it- do like I did and mix some dark colors together), glue, piece of egg carton, pom pom, pipe cleaner and something to paint with.
Mix the colors together to try to make the paint look black.
Paint the egg carton cup.
Add the pipe cleaner for legs, glue on the eyes and nose.
The finished spider.
