Spooky Spider Handprint Craft

Thanks to Hali for contributing this project -- Kaitlyn loves hers!!

I have a craft you may like to add. It is a spider made of the children's hand prints (from black tempera paint). 

Spooky Spider Handprint Craft
  • dip both hands in black paint and print them fingers away from each other and heals of the hand touching. 
      
  • When dry, cut out and slightly bend the fingerprints to make legs 
      
  • Poke a pin through the centre and thread a string through taping it to the underside of the spider. 
      
  • add wiggly eyes if desired.

You're done!  You can hang from anywhere! 

I did this with my dayhome kids ages 6 months to 5 years, and they all loved it.
