Funny Fuzzy Spider

Supplies

• Printable spider coloring sheet
• Heavy paper
• Heavy black paper
• 4-inch piece of yarn or ribbon
• Plastic lid or small paper plate
• Safety scissors
• Tape
• Glue (Glue dots work great for this project!)
• Markers or crayons
• Wax paper (12 inch square)

Instructions

1. Print out the spider coloring sheet onto heavy paper and use markers or crayons to color your spider parts any way you think it will look beautiful. Get creative! If you have sparkles, pom-poms, or any other craft materials at home, add them to give your spider his very own Sprout-terrific personality!
2. Ask a Grown-up Sprout to make a hole in the top of the lid or plate for the yarn. Loop the yarn through and tie a knot so you can hang up your spider!
3. Next, glue or tape the 8 wavy wacky spider legs to the top sides of your plastic lid or plate.
4. Tear up bits of black paper and glue all over the top to cover the lid or plate.
5. Glue on the eyes, fangs, back marking and funny shoes! Bend legs in a zigzag if you like!
6. Crumple up the wax paper and open it back up, tear around the edges so that it’s rounded out like a spider web. Now you’ve got a window-worthy web!
7. Glue the spider to your wax web, let dry, and hang. This funny friend in his wax web can hang in front of a window!
