This was such a fun craft day project for Charlie, my 3.5 year old. It was easy to set up and we had all the supplies already at home- WIN/WIN.
Found it on Busy Toddler. The mom from this blog did it with one side of a large cardboard box and blue painter’s tape.
Charlie and I did it with natural craft paper from Ikea and decorative tape from Michael’s because that’s what I already had in our craft closet. Get creative with what you can use! I also chose to tape it to our front porch floor with masking tape because I knew Charlie would work well like this. And it was a beautiful fall day so I wanted us to be outside. But you could also tape it to a wall or art table- up to you and what works for your set up.
Supply List:
- Paper or Cardboard
- Tape- scotch tape or painter’s tape
- Paint + brush- your choice!
I made the design by making a rectangle first with the tape. Then an X. Then a cross. Then Charlie helped me make the web design by sticking small pieces of the decorative tape to connect the X and cross. She actually loved this part as much as the painting. We used our Crayola Washable Paint and Charlie put some crayons out too but ended up only using paint. I just let her do her thing!
Once it’s dried, pull the tape off and voila! A custom spider web. We put Charlie’s finished project outside on the front porch. Happy Halloween crafting: ) Post your spider webs if you try this project!
