Our Marbled Art Spider Web kid craft idea will be the EASIEST art project your child will love making this Halloween season!
It’s the weekend and the kids are bored. Sound familiar?
Since it’s fall, I “know” we are all guilty of buying our latest fall boots to rock. {Thank you Target!} Simply put – those shoes you just bought, well, they are the perfect “STEP” in the right direction of Halloween craft fun!!! Say what?!
A simple shoe box is perfect for today’s spider web craft post because it makes for a great “tool” to make a masterpiece! Yup – I’m using YOUR boots as an excuse to craft with your kids. It’s called thinking outside the box – literally!
So before you feel guilty for wearing those boats – remember you are getting another use out of that purchase 😉 You can thank me later and check out the FULL tutorial below because your kids are going to love this Marbled Art Spider Web craft. Promise!
Happy crafting my friends! Don’t forget to share pictures of your marbled creations with us, on our Facebook page wall so we can admire your hard work from a far this spook-tacular season! #gluedtomycrafts

Directions:
To make your super cool spider web design – first tape down your black construction paper to the shoe box.
Squirt some paint in the corner of the box and drop your marbles/beads in.
Hand over to your child and ask them to roll the marbles around in the paint – making a fun marble art design.
Once you have the design you like – remove the paper {repeat multiple times} and let it dry completely.
If you have some spider stickers – they would make a great addition to this craft. Even some gray handprints made to look like spiders, would make a great addition.
PAIR YOUR FINISHED CRAFT WITH OUR —> Popsicle Stick Spiders
Now I know I’m pushing this as a Halloween/Fall craft but if you have different colored construction paper and various shades of paint – you can make this spider craft all year long with a tye dye theme. This craft would also make AMAZING homemade wrapping paper – just saying.
To wrap up this post, I just want to tell you to be sure to save that fabulous shoe box for future craft use! Smaller shoeboxes are great too but I loved how the marbles were able to move more freely because of the large box size! You just never know when it will come in handy and I really do hope today’s quick Halloween kid craft tutorial inspired you!!!!
