Hayley is a Mum of 2 Robust but amazing boys. She is hoping to be a Mum again soon, addicted to Motherhood. She was lucky enough to find her soul mate, Buster. I know - Buster, weird name eh? Long story, save that for another time. Inbetween colouring, cooking, playing cars, dealing with tantrums, school runs, cleaning, jigsaws and climbing the walls! Hayley can be found on her laptop blogging or squidooing or ebaying (sshh, dont tell Buster about that last one).

Children’s Crafts

October 21st, 2009 • Related • Filed Under

This is really easy Children’s craft and lots of fun.

What you will need:

White Paint (not the runny watery stuff, the thicker paint)
A sheet of black card
Some card in a different colour, the colour your spider will be
White Paper
A Black Felt Tip
Glue
Scissors
A Old Food Tray
A Marble

1) Cut out the black card do that it slots nicely onto the tray. Put it onto the tray.

2) Create your spider. I start out making the body with a zig zag effect and then go on to add the 8 legs. Cut this out. Then draw and cut out the spiders mouth and eyes. The mouth is just a smile curve and then adding zig zag teeth. The eyes are circles with black dots in the middle. Glue the spiders eyes and mouth onto the spider. How does he look? Meet mine, his name Creeper:

3) Next put a dollop of the white paint in the middle of the black card and place the marble on top of the dollop. Then the fun begins. Is this Children’s craft? Or are you adults stealing the show?

4) Move the tray from side to side and at an angle. When you do this the marble should roll around creating a web effect. Be careful not to overdo it or your black card will just a full page of white.

5) The grande finale, place your spider on top of the the centre of the web. The white paint should act as glue.

There you have it, nice easy children’s craft. How did you do?
