Paper Plate Spider

One of our favorite fall "spooky" crafts to make is a paper plate spider.  It's easy to make and it give children lots of fine motor practice.

You will need to have:

paper plates (we used small chinet)
black crepe paper
black cardstock or construction paper
glue
wiggle eyes
sequins
​scissors

We started by cutting the black crepe paper in to small pieces and the we glued them on to the paper plate. 

The next step was to glue on the wiggle eyes and sequins.  While the spider was drying we began making the spider legs.

We cut black construction paper in to small strips and folded them back and forth in accordion style.  We then glued the legs on to the bottom of the paper plates (four on each side).
