Junior Pre-K Spider Webs


Junior Pre-K Spider Webs

For this unique and fun project, students began by talking about spiders and spider webs. This included the purpose of spider webs, how they are made, how many legs they have, and what they thought about spiders and spider webs in general. To start the project, students created Styrofoam printing plates of their spider webs. Then, they inked their spider web print plates and then the ink transferred the design onto paper. We carefully rubbed the back of plates so that all of the ink would transfer. In the next class, students created their spiders using chenille stems, which were cut and coiled to create life-like fuzzy spiders. They turned out extremely unique and spooky, which is perfect for the Halloween season!
