Hello, everyone! Spiders are not just for the month of October during Halloween season, but rather spider crafts, activities, and unit studies are perfect anytime of the school year or summer. Sure, we may see spiders everywhere now, but given most children’s fascination with spiders, it’s always a good time to bust out a spider craft.
Try a few of these spider ideas after reading Eric Carle’s The Very Busy Spider or even Charlotte’s Web by E.B. White. From preschool to the intermediate grades, we covered a variety of mediums like paper, sculpture, and paint in this spider craft and activity round-up.
