What You'll Need for This Handprint Spider Craft
How to Make a Spider Handprint Craft
Step 1: Gather Your Supplies
Gather your materials: you’ll need black and green construction paper, scissors, glue, a pencil, and a black marker.
Step 2: Cut the Handprints and Eyes
Trace your child’s hand twice on the black construction paper and cut them out. These will become the spider’s legs and body.
Cut two green circles for the spider’s eyes.
Step 3: Glue the Handprints Together
Glue the two black handprints together at the palms so the fingers fan outward. It should look like a stretched-out X.
Step 4: Add the Eyes
Attach the green circles near the center where the palms overlap to create big spooky eyes.
Step 5: Draw the Pupils
Use a black marker to draw a smaller circle inside each green eye, leaving a little white space for the highlight. These will be the pupils.
All done!
Your not-so-creepy crawler is ready to decorate!
We'd love to see yours! Snap a photo and share it in the comments.
