Paper spiders are really cute and simple yet fun to make with your kids. Read on to see how you can make some!


Steps

  1. Take a piece of colored paper which can be any color. Black is the most realistic, but you can always get crazy and use orange or green!
  2. Fold the paper in half, and place your hand on the folded paper so your wrist is on the crease.
  3. Take a crayon, preferably a white crayon on black paper, and trace your hand.
  4. Take your scissors and cut the traced hand out!
  5. Cut off the traced thumb.
  6. Unfold the hand. Take the two thumbs and use a glue stick to glue them to the bottom of the hand (a little than halfway of where the thumbs are "supposed" to be). These will be the spider's fangs.
  7. Bend down all fingers (about .75 inch or 2 cm) to make the legs. Repeat with the fangs.
  8. Turn it over and decorate a face on it.

Tips

  • You don't have to use crayons. You can use anything you want such as glitter glue, paint, or even chalk.

Warnings

  • You should help little ones cut the traced hand out.
