An Activity for Preschoolers:
Colorful spider webs are perfect for exciting Halloween décor!

Before You Begin:
Gather the art supplies needed: colored or natural craft sticks, paint, glue or Glue Dots®
and yarn in your color of choice.

Activity Goals:
To create a Halloween-themed decoration
To develop fine motor skills
To practice weaving skills

Furthermore:
Create spiders with poms, wiggly eyes and pipe cleaners and glue them onto the web for
more creepy, crawly fun!

Steps:

  1. Choose colored craft sticks or paint craft sticks and let them dry before beginning.
  2. Attach 3 craft sticks together in the center using glue or Glue Dots®.
  3. Tie yarn to the center of the web and work outward, looping the yarn around each stick in
    an outward pattern. Younger children may prefer to repeat an over-under pattern rather
    than looping.
  4. Use excess yarn at the end for hanging.
