Our Marbled Art Spider Web kid craft idea will be the EASIEST art project your child will love making this Halloween season! #gluedtomycrafts

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 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! #gluedtomycrafts

Marbled Spider Web Craft Supplies:

* Empty Shoe Box
* Black Construction Paper
* White Craft Paint
* Washi Tape/Tape
* Marbles/Old Beads {ADULT SUPERVISION PLEASE!}

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.

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 craft all year long with a tye dye theme. This craft would also make AMAZING homemade wrapping paper – just saying.

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}
