Here's a bunch of itsy-bitsy spiders
that won't take long to hatch!
Materials
Cardboard egg carton
Black acrylic paint and paintbrush
Paper clips or pushpin
Newspaper
12 black pipe cleaners
Glue stick
12 pair of googly eyes
Cut the cups off an empty egg carton and
place them on newspaper. Have your kids
cover the cups inside and out, with a
coat of black acrylic paint.
Use the end of a paper clip or pushpin
to poke four holes on the opposite side
of the cup.
To make the fuzzy legs, cut four black pipe
cleaners into 7-inch lengths. Thread a pipe
cleaner through one of the holes, into the
cup, and out the corresponding on the other
side. Make sure the ends protrude an equal
length from both sides of the cup and bend
them upward at the base of the spider's body.
Fold in the opposite direction midway down the
legs to create knees and bend the tips to make
feet. Finally, glue on googly eyes!
