The Mom I Want to Be

Isn’t it funny that once a year, things that we try to keep out of our house…like spiders…become a decoration?

 

I love these hand print spiders because any craft which includes a hand print or foot print deems itself worthy to be kept.  My three year old daughter loved this activity as she was able to turn her hands into a spider, hopefully your kiddos will enjoy it to!

 

Black paint (washable is a must!)

Paper plate

Wiggly eyes

Paper (I used card stock)

String (optional)

Have your child dip each hand in the paint, spread their fingers wide, and then lay them on the paper with the heals of their hands touching.  After the spider has dried, cut the spider out and then slightly bend the finger prints to make the legs.  Add the eyes and you are done!  It’s that easy!  If you want to hang it, poke a hole in the middle and tie a ribbon or string in the middle of the spider.
