Handprint Spiders

These were made for Halloween. They are not entirely my idea, but borrowed from a local nursery.

You will need:

~ Black and white paint

~ Paper

~ Googly eyes (optional)

Method:

1) Paint the child's hand and 4 fingers black. Do not paint the thumb! (Spiders only have 8 legs!)

2) Press the child's hand onto the paper (to create a body and 4 legs). Press their hand again on top of the first handprint, with their fingers facing the opposite way (to create 8 legs)

3) Wait for the handprints to dry. Either finger paint white eyes onto the spider, or use googly eyes.

4) Cut out and hang on the wall.

This craft is good for 1 year + with lots of supervision.

Spiders do not have to be black and can have as many eyes as the child desires. Hole punch spiders and tie string/ribbon/fishing line through them to hang them from the ceiling.
