Tactile Spider Craft

This post may contain affiliate or advertiser links. Read my full disclosure policy .

For our craft this week, I just had to pull out one of my favorites from my archives.  This tactile spider craft was inspired by The Very Busy SpiderAffliation Link.by Eric Carle and was originally posted on my personal blog. I guarantee with a little prep work, your child will love it. Enjoy.

This week one of our library books was The Very Busy Spider by Eric Carle.  This story is about a spider who is busy spinning her web.   My son really loved the fact that he could feel the web the spider was spinning.

For our art project we recreated the spiders web.

Now there was some prep work on my part, but it was well worth it.  To prep for this you will need blue finger paint, a black crayon and…

Create a spider web using the glue gun on the finger painting paper.  Set aside to cool and dry.  While you wait have your child color the brown construction paper with a black crayon.  It adds texture to your fence posts. (I cut mine first and it was harder for him to color it.)

Then bring the spider web over and add a glob of blue finger paint.  Let you child spread the blue paint around, while feeling the bumpy spider web. While they are doing this, cut 4 strips from the brown construction paper for the fence posts.

Once the painting dries, have your child glue on the fence post and pom poms for the spiders head and body.  Using the permanent marker, add two eyes and 8 legs. (Now don’t judge, but I cut off all the extra paper that didn’t have any blue covering it and straightened his fence post.  I know shame on me.)  Have fun.

    Very cool! I’m thinking of all the things you could do with that glue gun. You could write a letter or a word and then have them finger paint over it. I’m gonna be gluing like crazy!!
