7. The Creepy Crawly Spider
This delightful spider craft is perfect for practicing cutting skills and exploring symmetry. Start by painting your cardboard tube black, deep purple, or even a vibrant neon green. Cut eight equal strips of black construction paper or use fuzzy black pipe cleaners for the legs. If using paper, fold them accordion-style to give them a bouncy, springy look. Glue four legs to one side of the roll and four to the other, bending them at the ends so the spider can stand upright on its own. On the front of the roll, glue a cluster of multiple googly eyes of varying sizes, since real spiders have many eyes. You can add a friendly smile with a white gel pen to make this creepy crawler look more whimsical than scary.
