Spider Search

[15 Minutes]

Fascinate your child with spiders and how they move.

You'll need:

• spider picture • egg carton section • pipe cleaners • marker

What to do:

1. Show your child a picture of a spider.
2. Sing the "Eensy Weensy Spider" and show your child the hand movements.
3. Invite her to go outside to look for a spider with you. Can you find a web? Supervise your child and do not let her touch the insects.
4. Talk about spiders. You can easily make a spider for your child to play with using an egg carton section, pipe cleaners, and adding a face with a marker.
