Here Is An Amusing Halloween Activity For Children - Wacky Spiders

Here is one of my most wanted Halloween crafts for children. It is fast and simple, could be accomplished with a crowd if needed, and is an excellent technique to go through cutting and fine motor skills with younger kids. Older kids will be able to allow their creativity take over and put together some truly crazy Halloween spiders!

You will need:

Black construction paper

Scissors

Glue or sticky-tape

Googly eyes (optional) or bits of paper and pens

Instructions:

Cut out a rectangle of construction paper roughly 3 inches by 3 1/2 inches. Tuck the shorter side over about an inch to fashion a pleat, and open it up again.

Turn the paper so that the pleat is horizontal, and cut the paper in 7 even lines up to the crease to make the 8 spider's legs. When working with younger children, pencil in the outline for them to repeat cutting on. For bigger kids, demonstrate to them how to produce the first cut at the center, dividing the space below the fold into two halves. Next show them how to divide up each half once more to make quarters, and then the quarters to make eighths. There is certainly no need be overly precise.

Now put the spider around the child's finger then fasten using sticky-tape or glue. Remove the spider once more and garnish - either with bits of paper or with googly eyes. Position the spider once again on the finger and twist the legs into shape or coil them around a pencil.

A few other options:

Dangle the spiders! Just cut a length of black yarn (wool) and connect on the head of the spider using a small piece of sticky-tape.

Build littler variations of these spiders to adorn the ends of Halloween pencils.

Put little spiders around straws to adorn your Halloween table! Make a few larger spiders and then distribute them around the table too.

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

When the body of the spider has been made but also prior to decorating, place a black pipe cleaner around the head of the spider creating a furry appearance. The extending edge of the pipe cleaner can be arched right into a hook shape, that will make the spider easy to dangle from shelving, doorways, and other spooky locations! Glue googly eyes on the top of the pipe cleaner.
