This may be one of the hardest projects/printables I’ve ever put together. Spiders creep me out and putting this together required learning about spiders and seeing lots of pictures that creeped me out.

I hope my children appreciate my sacrifice lol.

Spider Craft Directions

Once you’ve reviewed the spider facts you’ll be ready to make this cute spider craft. You can use your own knowledge, books, or YouTube videos.

1 – Make the body

Grab a piece of paper to use as a background. I used orange but you can use any color. (White may make it a little hard to read the spider facts.)

To make the body you’ll need 1 large black pom-pom and one small craft pom-pom.

2 – Add the legs

You can give your spider legs out of whatever you want…just make sure it has 8.

We did it with both paper clips (which can hold the facts) and pipe cleaners. With pipe cleaners you can make them straight, or bend them to make more realistic legs.

(Pipe cleaners are much easier to attach with tape than with glue.)

3 – Add the spider facts

Finish off the craft by adding the spider facts. If you use paper clips they can slide into the paper clip (before you attach the paper clips is best). Or, glue them to the end of each leg.

Spider Facts – True/False Sort

A great way to learn some spider facts is with this True/False Spider Fact Sort.

Print out the worksheet and glue the facts in the true or false columns. There are 8 true facts and 4 false facts. Some of them are obvious, but some may take a little spider knowledge to figure out.
