Incy Wincy Spider Craft

Today's craft we were looking at the Incy Wincy Spider, or the Itsy Bitsy Spider, whichever version you sing.   We made two different types of spider to use a prop for our singing.  FYI we sing Itsy Bitsy, excessively,  since we've made these.

Sunny Spiders

What you need

4 Cardboard circles (paper plates would work fantastically for bigger spiders)
Yellow Card
Black Paint
Yellow Paint
Googly Eyes
Scissors
Glue

How to do it

1. If you are using cardboard (from a cereal box for example) draw round a plate or cup to get a circle and cut out 4.

2.  Paint 2 of the circles black and 2 of the circles yellow.  Leave to dry.

3.  Paint one side of the yellow card black, leave to dry.  Alternatively if you have a piece of black card you could stick it to the yellow card so you have one side yellow and one side black.

4.  Once everything is dried cut 4 long strips from the card to act as your legs.  If your circle is bigger than your card you will need to cut 8 equal length strips.

5.  Laying the painted side of the black circle down spread with glue before placing 4 card strips across, black side down yellow side up.

6.  Stick the yellow circle on top.

7.  Clamp together until dry then add googly eyes to the spider.

8.  One sunny spider to use a prop to your song.
