Make Spiders

What to do:

  1. Use pipe cleaners to make legs for a clay body, or just twist the pipe cleaners together for the body.
  2. Let children draw faces for their spiders if they want.
  3. Use the activity to talk about spiders, what they eat, how many legs they have, and how they compare with 6-legged insects.
