Do your kids love spiders? My daughter doesn’t but since we made The Very Busy Spider craft, she’s been asking to make more spider crafts so I had to obliged. She’s my girly girl, so bugs don’t really appeal to her. This was a nice surprise and my son didn’t want to join in, which was surprising since he loves bugs.
I didn’t want to make a big mess so we made this simple spider craft.
My daughter is the first to squeal when there’s a fly near her so maybe these bug crafts will help her get over bugs. Oh well, I don’t really like them either but they do catch flies, which I hate, so I let them be.
My boys are all about bugs and rescue them all. Making their own spider craft and to their own taste is right up their alley!
Simple Spider Craft Supplies
- Black construction paper and another color for the background
- Scissors
- White Glue
- Googly Eyes
- Sequins, beads, foam shapes (optional)
, 
, foam shapes (optional)I cut out the body and strips of black for my daughter, I placed the strips on top of each other and folded them in an accordion style. My daughter glued them body and legs onto her piece of construction paper.
She then decided she wanted to paint it and mixed all the colors together and made a black. I gave her googly eyes to glue onto her spider. I was going to stop there but she grabbed my stash of sequins and shapes and glued those on as well.
She loved this part and she was having fun so I wasn’t going to stop her, it’s her creative project. We let it dry and she took pictures of her creation, can you tell she’s going to be a blogger when she grows up.
