Spiders and Spiderwebs

The last Halloween craft that the kids and I did before Halloween was spiders and spiderwebs. We made the whole morning themed with spiders and we had so much fun! The girls also liked having Halloween inspired artwork hanging up in their room during the Holiday.

For breakfast: oatmeal pancakes with a piped on Nutella spider

For a girl who loves pancakes and nutella, she was in heaven!

Then, we made handprint spiders. Kids of all ages love handprint projects. So great!

Next, rice spiderwebs. The girls loved making a "mess" and then watching the excess rice fall off to reveal a spiderweb. I got oohs and aahs on this project. 

Finally, I used streamers to create a web maze in our hallway. This was the greatest! Lexi loved LOVED trying to figure out how to get out without taking the web down. Christine thought it was cool too!

Mission complete. 

Final product #1

And #2

We then read these wonderful books to learn more about spiders. 

I love the fact that my children love reading and learning. It makes being their mom so much fun!
