Directions to Make a Paper Spider Web Craft
Step 1
After gathering supplies, invite children to glue a base for their spider’s web with craft sticks. Kids can make any shape they want including a right angle, a square, a triangle, or a criss-cross.
Step 2
While their shapes are drying, children can use scissors to cut long strips of paper. The thinner they cut the strips, the more intricate a spider’s web pattern they will be able to make.
Step 3
Next, children can begin to glue the strips of paper to their craft sticks.
Step 4
Last, kids can use their scissors to cut out a circle and 8 small strips of black paper for their spider’s body. Invite children to glue down the black papers to create the shape of a spider.
