DLTK's Holiday Crafts for Kids
3D Monster Paper Craft

This is a cute, simple paper craft that results in a 3D ornament you can hang around the room.

Print template of choice and color as necessary.
Cut out the template pieces.
Fold each piece in half (on the dashed line) so they are all colored on both the front and the back.
Optional: Put thin cardboard in between the front and back of each template piece to make them a bit sturdier.
Glue together so the pieces are colored on both sides.
3D Spiders:
- Cut on one of the dotted lines of each template piece (only cut as far as the dotted line goes, not all the way through the piece).
- Slide the pieces together, top to bottom
- Glue a piece of ribbon, string or thread onto the top (or hole punch a small hole and tie a ribbon through). If you hole punch, do it through the spider that is cut from the bottom, not the one that is cut from the top.
Monster:
- punch four holes in the bottom of the monster template.
- String one spider through each of the holes so it hangs down from the monster.
Optional:
- Print as many copies of template 3 as you like and keep adding spiders to the bottom of the other spiders and the monster to make a very busy halloween scene!
- 'numbers practice' -- count the spiders.
- 'colors practice' -- color the background of each spider a different color.

Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
