How to make a spider that scares grannies?

“Long after Halloween, we have a house full of candies, spiders, bats, pumpkins, and a house full of fun.“

Is October a month of mysterious projects for you and your children? My kid’s creativity in October revolves around making spiders, scary masks, bats, spooky pumpkins, ghosts, and all the other decorations that are both terrifying and fun to them.

Our grandparents visited us over the weekend and admired the Halloween decorations. Also, they brought a dozen sweets. Everything looked great, usually an afternoon with a good cup of coffee, until Patrick put the spider on Grandma’s plate and Grandma touched the hairy spider instead of a cup of coffee. Terrible, right? Grandma jumped and squealed, and Grandpa laughed to tears.

That’s why today we’ll show you how to create a spider to scare grandma. “My little puzzles”  DIY project is made of recyclable materials and items that you probably have at home.  Easy-peasy.

Let’s started

 What little puzzles will be created today?

SPIDER FROM PAPER CUP

What my little puzzles don’t need?

DISTURBING PARENTS.

I helped the kids make holes in the cup. Of course, Patrick (5 years old) is able to do it himself and not hurt himself, but Dora (2 years old) wants everything herself, but she cannot and can hurt herself.

What do my little puzzles need?

• full stomach
• drink near to them
• smile 
• patience – only because they create together
• good energy

And everything from the list below:

☆tables cover 

☆paper cup (takeaway coffee cup)

☆foam white ball ( next month we need more to make a Santa Claus figure:)

☆fluffy pipe cleaner for kids’ craft

☆stainless steel spikes from the husband’s cupboard

☆coloured paper or construction paper

☆plastic wiggly eyes stickers

☆scissors 

☆glue

☆acrylic paints or markers

☆anything that will help your kids better decorate spiders

What will we use for an unplanned mess?

• wet wipes
• kitchen paper rolls

Step-by-step process of making a spider from a cup:

1. Cut the cup of coffee in half.
2. Paint this half with the bottom.

 TIPS:

*use as little water as possible for the paints.

*leave the painted piece to dry.

2. Cut out the fluffy pipe cleaner and all the details, while drying the paper cup.

3. Create spider eyes with ball-shaped foam.

4. Or add wiggly eyes – easier for 2 years old kids.

5. Mom or Dad will make holes for the legs and eyes of the spider.

TIPS:

*leave your children alone to create a unique design.
