Here's An Enjoyable Halloween Craft For Kids Young And Old - Weird Spiders

Here is probably one of my most wanted Halloween crafts for kids. It is swift and simple, may be accomplished with a crowd if needed, and also is an excellent technique to practice cutting and fine motor skills with younger kids. Older kids will be able to allow their creative thoughts take over and make some truly wacky Halloween spiders!

You will need:

Black construction paper

Scissors

Glue or sticky-tape

Googly eyes (optional) or pieces of paper and pens

Instructions:

Cut out a rectangle of construction paper just about 3 inches by 3 1/2 inches. Tuck the short side over about an inch making a pleat, and then unfold it up again.

Turn the paper so that the pleat is horizontal, then cut the paper in 7 organized lines up to the crease to produce the 8 spider's legs. With smaller children, pencil in the lines for them to repeat cutting on. For bigger kids, demonstrate to them how to create the first cut at the middle, dividing the space below the fold into two halves. Next demonstrate to them how to divide up each half again to make quarters, and then the quarters to make eighths. There's no need be very exact.

Now put the spider around the child's finger and fasten using sticky-tape or glue. Remove the spider once more and garnish - either with pieces of paper or else with googly eyes. Position the spider back on the finger and curve the legs into shape or wind them around a pencil.

A few other options:

Hang up the spiders! Merely cut a length of black yarn (wool) and connect inside the head of the spider using a small piece of sticky-tape.

Craft littler variations of these spiders to go on the ends of Halloween pencils.

Put small spiders around straws to brighten your Halloween table! Make several larger spiders and then place them around the table too.

Cut a small slit on both sides of the spider's head and insert a name card transforming these spiders into eerie place markers!

After the body of the spider is made but also before decorating, put a black pipe cleaner around the head of the spider to provide a furry appearance. The overhanging tip of the pipe cleaner can be arched into a hook shape, that will make the spider easy to swing from shelving, doorways, and any number of spooky locations! Stick googly eyes on the top of the pipe cleaner.
