This rock craft can be made harder or easier depending on the age of the child who is making it. For younger children, have all the pieces cut for them ahead of time and use white glue to stick them on. For older children, have them cut the legs on their own and use a hot glue gun (with adult supervision).
This mason jar spider craft and dancing spider craft are pretty cute too!

First you need to start with some rocks, clearly! I really like these flat river rocks for painting from Amazon. It can sometimes be hard to find the perfect flat rock for craft projects and so these rocks make it easy! But if you want to go out rock hunting just be sure to wash the rocks that you find thoroughly before using them for your project.
How to make this easy spider rock craft:
Supplies needed:
- 2-3” rock
- Black acrylic paint
- Paintbrush
- 4 – black pipe cleaners
- 15 to 20 – googly eyes of various sizes
- Hot glue gun
- Hot glue sticks

Directions:
1. Paint the entire rock black (if needed, we used a black rock).
2. Seal with a coat of Mod Podge (optional).
3. Allow to completely dry.
4. Glue the googly eyes to the front center of the rock.
5. Cut the pipe cleaners in half.
6. Bend the pipe cleaners in half and bend each about 1″ from the end.
