Little Miss Muffet Handprint Spider Craft
To make a handprint spider you will need:
- Black paint
- Card
- Black wool
- Eyes (Googly eyes would work well but we used white pom poms with a dot drawn in the middle)
- Gold pen (to draw on smile)
How to make a handprint spider:
- Cover your hands in black paint and make 2 handprints next to one another. Spread out your fingers as each finger will create one spiders leg.
- Once the handprints are dry cut them out. Cut off the thumbs so you are left with 8 legs.
- Stick on some eyes. Googly eyes are fun or you could use white pom poms like we did.
- Draw a smile using the gold pen.
- Stick a piece of wool to the back of the spider so that you can make him dangle down.
Have fun re-enacting the nursery rhyme 'Little Miss Muffet' and frightening people away with your spider.
