How to make a Spider with Pipe Cleaners
STEP 1: Gather your supplies
Before you get started with your pipe cleaner spider craft, make sure to gather up all your supplies! You can use any colour you'd like for your spider, but I recommend orange, purple, or black for the Halloween season.
STEP 2: Assemble your spider legs
To get started on your pipe cleaner spider, cut two pipe cleaners in half for each spider you plan on making.
Next, twist your four small pipe cleaners together in the center to form eight spider legs. Bend the ends down towards the table so it can stand like a spider!
STEP 3: Assemble your spider body
Now that you have your legs for your spider craft, it's time to assemble the body! Glue a pom pom onto the center of the legs. To finish it off, glue on two googly eyes. Once it's dry, your spider with pipe cleaners is complete!
We hope you enjoy making this super cute pipe cleaner spider for the Halloween season! Toddlers and preschoolers are sure to have lots of fun with this spider craft. Pair your pipe cleaner spider craft with a Halloween story for even more fun.
