The project

If you have to come up with a craft for your child’s classroom, make this bouncy spider Halloween craft.  Be prepared for your child to say, “Thank’s mom, all the kids loved the craft you made.”  This spider was my go-to Halloween craft for both of my kids.  The spider is so easy to make and kids love playing with it.  If this craft is for small children, and I am in charge of bringing the supplies, I will break down the supplies for one spider, and place the items in a plastic bag for each child.  Making the bags beforehand is faster and easier than passing out the supplies when you get in the classroom.

For elementary school age, I let them do everything except painting the balls.  You do not have to use this just for a classroom craft, your kids can make these at home.  As a result, Bouncy Spider is a craft that the kids can actually play with.

1 styrofoam ball painted black

1 hand full of black eyelash yarn

1 rounded bobby pin

15 inches or more of elastic

2 googly eyes and glue

8 pipe cleaners cut into 4-inch pieces (I do this beforehand). This spider Halloween craft is easy for kids to make and fun to play with.
Paint the balls black at least one day before.  I recommend using craft paint and not spray paint.This spider Halloween craft is easy for kids to make and fun to play with.

    Cute, cute, cute! What a fun and easy project for Halloween. I’m sure recreating it took you back several years to when you made these with your kiddos.
    Thanks for sharing my friend.

    Hugs, Lynn

    Sherry, this is the cutest spider, and I love that my kids can make it. I’m always looking for crafts for them, and they love all things spooky or gross, so this is perfect!

    I hate spiders, but this one didn’t look scary.

    Sherry, this is such an easy project and I can see why the kids would love it! I have to honestly say, that I saw a live and gigantic wolf spider the other evening, here in TX. It was right by the door we were going to enter, so we went another way. Even though we were about 6 feet from it, my daughter-in-law said to watch out cause they can jump far. Now, that was scary!

    What a fun Halloween craft Sherry! Now I’m thinking I could start and have each one of my kids in school make one and on Halloween they can take it home! So darn cute!

    This is really cute Sherry. I can see why it is such a favorite with the kids. And it’s not too scary so it is a natural fun toy for them to play with and perfect for decorating as well.
