Black card or thick black paper, A5 sheet per spider (legs)
2 white self-adhesive circle stickers, 2 cm diameter (eyes)
Black marker, fine tip
50 cm of black thread per spider for hanging
PVA glue
Step by Step
Paint the front of the paper plate entirely black. Let it dry flat for twenty minutes.
Cut eight strips of black card, each 2 cm x 15 cm. Accordion-fold each strip to give it a jointed, leg-like appearance.
Glue four legs to each side of the underside of the plate, pointing outward and slightly downward. Allow the glue to set for five minutes before turning the spider over.
Stick the two white circle stickers to the front of the plate, side by side, near the top. Draw a black dot pupil on each with the marker.
An adult ties the black thread to a small loop of tape on the back of the plate at the top, or makes a small hole with a pencil and threads it through for hanging.
