Spiders & Bats "OH MY!"

Recently I posted on Instagram a picture of our Halloween crafts we did on a rainy day and I thought to my self why didn't I just do a post on it. Well here I am. Better late then never right. It truly is such a simple craft that anyone can do and it will keep
your kids nice and quiet even if its for just 10 min. Which in my opinion 10 minutes of quiet is Heaven!! 

 Bats and Spiders is what was on the crafting agenda and I do have to say that they came out pretty nice. We had a nice time crafting and no one was fighting so there was no time outs during this craft session. 

My kids absolutely love anything that has to do with paint and holidays. They love displaying their art work in the play room and feel super proud about their creations. Here's what we did and used to make our Spiders and Bats! 

|SPIDERS|

|What You Need|

White Paper Plates

Paint of Your Choice

Googly Eyes Multi Pack

Pipe Cleaners of Your Choice

Tape

Glue or Hot Glue Gun 

String for Hanging 

Step 1: You will need 2 paper plates

Step 2: Paint Both paper plates Only Back Sides

Step 3: Take a Snack break while the Plates Dry! LOL

Step 4: Once the plates are dry turn over the White Side and place your Pipe Cleaners inside the way you want them to look. Once you have them in place then put a piece of tape over them to secure them in place.

Step 5: Use Glue or Hot Glue (we used Hot Glue, it worked better and dried faster) on the edge of the plate and place the other plate on top with the painted side facing UP!

Step 6: Press Firmly to secure!

Step 7: Glue your Googly Eyes on and place your string to hang!
