Spider Crafts

1. Spider Slime

This slime is so fun to make together, and it’s fun to play with too! We love the textured, hands-on experience of slime. And this slime is very easy to make. It also makes a big bucket full, so there’s enough for 3-4 kids to play with.

Pro Mom Tip: Have your kids play with it over a cookie sheet for mess-free fun!

2. Lollipop Spiders

Even your littlest ones can help bend these pipe cleaners into spider legs. Add some googly eyes, and you’ve got cute spiders! You can use it as décor on a table or stick it in a lollipop for a sweet treat to share. We think this is a great craft to bring to your child’s school friends for the holiday!

More fun with googly eyes – one of my son’s favorite craft supplies! These are larger spiders that you can also hang from a door or shelf if you add some extra string on top.

4. Spider Web Art
