googly eyes

small black construction paper head (one per spider) 1 1/2 diameter

Have students color in any way they desire on top of paper plate.  Bright colors work best. Paint top of construction plate with black paint and set aside. 

Let dry for a few minutes.

Give each student 8 legs and a head, a piece of yarn and two googly eyes. 

Glue yarn at top of spider and put head on top of the end of the yarn.  Add the googly eyes.

Glue on legs, four to a side. They look better if the end of legs touch or are closer together.  

Dry and hang up.
