Halloween "Warm Fuzzy Spider" Craft October 23 2009, 0 Comments
These "Warm Fuzzy Spiders" are fun and easy to make. This craft is perfect for the week of Halloween.
These spooky spiders can be hung over a doorway, in the window or on a bulletin board.
The spiders are ideal to use as instructional tools, while teaching the fact that spiders have eight legs.
Materials:
- Yarn
- Wiggly Eyes
- Scissors
- Glue
- White string or white dental floss (optional to tie to the ceiling or window) and tape (or a thumb tack)
Instructions:
Students
- Roll the yarn around your hands about 100 times (or use a paper towel roll).
- Pull the yarn off of your hand or the paper towel roll.
- Hold the wound up yarn in your hand and pull a small piece of yarn through the hole in the center.
- Tightly tie one side of the circle with the yarn.
- Cut open the circle of yarn on the opposite side.
- Cut all the pieces of yarn until you only have 4 pieces of long yarn on each side (eight legs).
- Glue on the wiggly eyes.
- Measure the length of white string you want and tie it to the top of your little spider's head. Then, use tape or a thumb tack to attach it above the window or classroom door.
