Spider Craft

Here is an idea for a simple spider craft.




Materials Needed:

black cardstock
hole punch
black pipe cleaners
googly eyes
gluestick

#1. Cut out a circle and a slightly smaller oval out of black cardstock


#2. Cut 2 pipe cleaners into 8 legs and punch 8 holes in the circle


#3. Attach the pipe cleaner legs, glue on the oval head and attach googly eyes


My girls are very girly so they put little bows on their spiders' heads. Decorate them however you wish and hang them on your wall.

Developmental Considerations: Depending on your child's ability level you can have your child punch the holes themselves to practice their grasp strength. You can also have your child pinch and twist the pipe cleaner legs practicing that pincer grasp. If your child is able, have them cut out the circle and oval.
