Hello, hello friends!! Today I have an adorable fall themed craft for you, this Dancing Spider! He wiggles and jiggles and is super easy to create with the kids. Let me show you how to create this cute dancing spider craft… I am not a huge fan of spiders in general but when they are this cute I tend to let my phobia go LOL. Let me show you how to create this cute dancing spider craft…
Our spider is made using a few simple supplies that you should have laying around in your craft room. Other than the wooden disc…. if you’re not into chopping down a tree just substitute a heavy piece of card stock or cardboard.
I recently scored a pile of wooden discs cut from a tree branch. You could totally do this yourself if you have a handy-dandy table saw! I drilled holes in each round of wood to create a spot to tie a hanger for our spiders. Once this was done we were golden and the crafting commenced. We made Apple Teacher Gifts, Reindeer Ornaments and Snowmen so far!
This craft is fun for the kids because the spider dances around from its hanger with legs bouncing in every direction. You could make a few of these to add to your halloween decor or as “gifts” for friends who love spiders as much as I do *wink*.
