Spider Crafts

 


The only time of year that all mothers and children seem to be able to tolerate spiders is Halloween! We've got some great spider crafts for you to try below whether they are for Halloween or a minibeast theme or just for fun.

A bottle top is the perfect size for this little spider craft, and as you can see from the photo he sits quite realistically on his pipe-cleaner legs. Perfect for scattering around the house or classroom at Halloween!

This cheerful paper plate spider involves painting, cutting, folding and sticking, so it is a great Halloween craft for younger kids. And they look great out on display, too!

This paper plate spider web is just the thing when you have a pompom spider which needs a spooky perch! Younger kids in particular will enjoy the lacing activity.

Pompom Spider Craft

Don't you love this funny spider? Despite his googly eyes, I'm not sure I'd like to meet him in the dark on Halloween! These pompom spiders can be hung around your room or simply left on windowsills, mantelpieces and nooks and crannies to surprise and delight!

Smiling Spider Fuse Bead Pattern

Smiling Spider Fuse Bead Pattern

Use black beads for the body and yellow or orange for teh spider's eyes and smiley mouth. This spider makes a great brooch (pin) for Halloween, although you must be careful not to break his legs! He also looks great hung from ceilings or doorways by a piece of thread.

We had great fun making these spider biscuits and, as they are really just a question of adding decorations to existing biscuits, it's a quick activity to put together.

This is one of our favourite Halloween crafts for kids, and is very quick and simple as well as a good way to practice cutting skills with little kids. Older kids can let their imaginations take over and create some really wacky spiders!

These spidery finger prints are so simple and quick to make that you are likely to end up with dozens of spiders! They are fun for all ages, and a great way to decorate stationery, table-wear or party bags!

Toilet Roll Spider

We might have got just a little bit carried away with the number of eyes on our toilet roll spider - but you can be sure he won't miss anything that's going on! Stick to just two eyes if you prefer...
