* School Glue
* Black Craft Paint
* Paint Brushes
* Black Cardstock
* Small Wiggle Eyes
* Scissors
* Halloween Glitter

Directions:

* First have children glue their mini popsicle sticks {7 total} together to look like a fence. Place five next to each other, then glue two popsicle sticks the other direction to hold it all together. Set aside to let it dry completely. Repeat for each spider you want to make.
* Once your pieces are secured together, go ahead and have children paint their popsicle stick piece completely black. Repeat for each piece.
* While the paint is still wet, go ahead and have children sprinkle some glitter on top to give the spiders some Halloween flair. Shake off the excess and set aside to let it dry.
* Now grab our black cardstock and scissors. Go ahead and cut out small strips out of the paper to represent the legs of the spider. We did 8 per spider but you are more than welcome to do more or less!
* To finish off the Popsicle Stick Spiders – have children glue the black cardstock legs to the popsicle stick piece, as well as the wiggle eyes to give it life. Then let it all dry completely again before playing/displaying with proudly!!!
* Remember – you can also add string to the back of your finished pieces for easy hanging around the house!
