Instructions For Paper Cup Spider Craft
There are a few precautions you should take when working with this craft:
- Always supervise small children, when working with a hot glue gun and scissors.
- Plus, if you feel the spider looks too realistic and might scare your little one, talk through the process for the child to understand it’s not real.
OK, with all the precaution tips in mind let’s start crafting!
Step 1: Cut the paper cup in half.
No paper cup? Feel free to substitute it with a toilet paper roll or paper plate. With paper plate, popsicle sticks can serve as legs.
Step 2: Paint it black and let it dry.
Step 3: Cut the pipe cleaners. Make at least 6 spider legs.
Step 4: Attach the legs to the paper cup, 3 legs on each side.
Step 5: Add the googly eyes.
And there you have it – a cute Halloween spider craft that is sure to delight your kids!

And after the crafting is done, challenge your kids with this Halloween word search. Can they find all the words?
