Spider Webs, Spiders, and Motor Skills

Hi all,

I hope everyone's recovered from this past weekend's Halloween complete sugar OVERLOAD!

The weather definitely seemed to be in our favour Saturday night, it was a perfect evening for trick or treating.

To help celebrate this past week, I did a spider web craft with the kids that also tested their fine motor skills. I pre-punched out holes in the rim of a paper plate and cut a large hole in the centre of the plate. It was the kids' job to string through yarn through the hole punches of the plate to try to emulate a spider's web. After a couple demos for them to see how it was supposed to be done, they had practically no problems. There isn't a web without a spider so we finished off the activity with Pom-Pom spiders.


Check out our finished products below, they're very cool!
