Check out The Best Spider Craft for Preschool! This craft is great for getting creative, building fine motor skills, and counting numbers 1-8! Count 8 legs and 8 eyes! This is a great craft for Halloween, or if you’re learning about arachnids. The sponge painting technique is great for developing muscle control as well as being a soothing process to express creativity. Print your free cutouts below!
Spider Craft for Preschoolers!
Materials Needed: paper plate, black paint, (a touch of glitter), sponge, scissors, glue, free spider cutouts
Step 1: Gather your spider craft supplies. Print your spider cutouts onto cardstock paper. Next, cover your paper plate black. I decided to sponge paint, but you can use watercolors, markers, Dot Dots, whatever you like.
Step 2: Next, use markers or crayons to color in your spider legs and eyes. I decided to make colorful legs! Use your scissors to cut out the spider craft pieces.
Step 3: Use your glue stick to paste the 8 eyes and the 8 legs to the paper plate. Keep you spider legs straight, or your can crinkle them back and forth to make your spider look like he’s moving!
