Here's a fun Halloween Craft to make...Wiggly Spider Bracelets!
You will need:
Black Construction Paper
Wiggly Eyes
White paper
Paper Fastener
Tape
Scissors
White Crayon
Glue
Pencil
1. Fold black construction paper in half
2. Along folded edge, lay child's hand palm down (midway through palm) and trace fingers with white crayon
3. Cut out the outline of the fingers
4. Unfold for a spider with eight legs. Now turn the spider over and with the pencil, roll the legs around the pencil to curl under
5. Cut a 1" strip of black paper from the remaining scraps, and form it into a circle for the bracelet. At the appropriate length, tape the ends together.
6. Attach the bracelet to the underside center of the spider using the paper fastener.
7. Glue on the wiggly eyes and the "fangs" that you design and cut from the white paper to the topside of the spider's head
8. The child puts his/her fingers/wrist through the bracelet. The spider will wiggle as you move your wrist.
Of course, if you want you could choose a species of spider and do a mini unit on that. We are making black widows by adding a red hourglass shape to our spider's belly.
