The spider is blindfolded. If correct the spider and the insect change places. On black construction paper each child traces a figure eight shape for the spider's head and body. Next, children count out eight strips of black sticky tape and fan fold them. These are attached to the spider for legs.
Children can add eyes and faces to their spiders with the white crayon or chalk if they wish.
Those that finish first can practice making their spiders move across the floor. To help children understand that spiders build webs to catch their prey. Photocopied webs, thin black tempera paint, droppers, straws. Children use droppers to put a small amount of black paint onto their webs. They blow through straws to put the legs on the spiders.
