This simple craft uses three popsicle sticks, paint, and yarn to create a Halloween spider web. Kids can practice fine motor skills by wrapping yarn and then add a spider for extra fun. It's a perfect festive activity for little hands.

You'll need

Popsicle sticks

Glue (or a hot glue gun)

Tempera paint in Halloween colors

Yarn in black, white, and/or orange

Scissors

Optional: Mini Spiders

Directions

Connect three popsicle sticks together using glue. For faster drying, a hot glue gun works well.

Apply tempera paint in Halloween shades like orange, purple, or green to the sticks and let them dry completely.

Snip a generous length of yarn in black, white, or orange. Secure one end to a popsicle stick with a knot, then wind the yarn around each stick. Even if the pattern isn't perfect, kids will get fine motor practice and feel proud.

When you finish wrapping, knot the yarn to a stick and leave a long tail to serve as a hanging loop.

Decorate your web with a spider if you like. You can use a sticker, a mini plastic spider, or craft a small pom-pom spider to attach.
