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!!

You all, it is so important to do everything you c You all, it is so important to do everything you can to make sure to maintain your health and your family's too this season.  My family and I always take proactive steps in the winter. Honestly, the steps we have taken in the past have kept my family healthy and we rarely get sick. This year we are adding some extra things to help support our immune system.  I've had several people asked me what I'm doing, so a few of my friends and I are actually going to have a little sharing session this Wednesday night (8:15 EST). We will be sharing all the ways we stay proactive with our health, especially in the winter. We'll have some practical tips, as well as some, must-haves to keep on hand to help your family stay above that wellness line. 

It's happening this Wednesday (11/18) at 8:15 pm EST.  Let me know if you want in and I will get you the dets. 

We will be talking about essential oils, but there are so many other things we do as well.  We will have a packet for everyone that comes, so you won't have to worry about your hand cramping from all the notes you'll want to write down!
You all, I can't believe it is November! However, You all, I can't believe it is November! However, I'm so glad it is because I am tired of all the crazy this year and I need to change my attitude! I'm going to be intentional this month and practice gratitude. 

Here's the thing, I think you should join me because research studies show that finding a bit of thankfulness each day can actually increase your happiness level and decrease depression!! It also increases physical health (hello cold & flu season), brain function, and a sense of fulfillment. I know, with everything going on in the world right now I could use a little more of ALL of that!

So, who's with me? What are you thankful for today?

🍂Today I am thankful for the colorful fall leaves swirling by my windows. 🍂
I love this reminder from the Lord! Last week was I love this reminder from the Lord!

Last week was our first week back to homeschool. And I think it is safe to say that we all dealt with an array of emotions that week.  I had to give myself a timeout the first day!! So, this reminder is perfect as we begin this week

After evaluating how things went I can see that it was my thoughts and attitude that was the ultimate cause of my feelings of frustration and irritation. Things weren’t going the way I had planned. 

I mean, let’s be honest this year isn’t really going as any of us have planned. Am I right? 

Here’s the thing, we have a choice in how we think, and since our thoughts affect our emotions, we have a choice in how we feel. 

But praise the Lord we don’t have to let our circumstances dictate our attitude or the the way we think!

WHO ELSE NEEDS THE SPIRIT TO RENEW THEIR THOUGHTS AND ATTITUDE THIS WEEK?
