Craft: Handprint Spiders

Supplies needed:

  • paper plates (we chose orange)
  • black paint
  • paintbrush(es)
  • stick-on googly eyes or white paint
  • hole punch
  • white twine (you’ll want about 36 inches or so for each plate)

Steps:

  1. Paint the palm of the child’s hand & 4 fingers (don’t paint the thumb) with black paint! Press down on dry painted plate, being careful to not move the fingers too much. Then, repeat process with other hand. When pressing the 2nd hand down, overlap on the other palm print. That is what forms the spider’s body. Let dry.
  2. Attach googly eyes or paint on eyes with white & black paint.
  3. Punch 16 holes around the inside edge of the plate.
  4. Secure the twine with a large knot on the back side of the plate (you may want to add a little glue to help make sure it doesn’t come through the hole). Then, let the child create a web with the twine, using the plate as a lacing card. (Little ones may need some help with this).
  5. End the twine in back & secure it by tying it off or gluing it down.

Hang up and enjoy!
