Silly Spider Art Project {free download}

 

007

We made these fun spiders last week and they turned out just precious.

I actually made these 2 years ago and we mounted them on lime green paper.. I did not have any large green paper so we used this pinkish-purple paper.

They would even be cute without the background paper.

Maybe on a big spider web!

Download the patterns below. I print them on white paper from my computer then run them on construction paper on our school’s copier.

Silly Spider Art Patterns

If you download these- please leave a comment!

I would love to hear from you!

I would also love for you to include my blog link or button on your blog!

I totally flaked out this week and did not take but a few pictures of my kids.. WHAT?!? I had my camera everyday but it was a crazy week..

011

I did get these 2 pictures of this ordinal word center we did. .. it was a big hit. I moved these cards into our pocket chart basket.. so now they can use them anytime they are given permission to use the pocket chart. That way.. they can be used over and over until the end of October.

You can buy my Halloween centers on TpT ..

I obviously killed my beloved home laminating machine.. it won’t heat up { oh no! } so I am off to shop around for a replacement! I cannot live without it!

We are out of school tomorrow. (yea!! for Columbus Day!) I am so excited for an extra day! Hope you have a great weekend!

xoxo, kacey

    so cute! thank you! (and thank you for putting your "name" on the downloads so I can remember who to give credit for when I share them (the freebies)! I ALWAYS forget where I got what.
    Oh...P.S. Do you print up your color copies all at home?? Our school is so budgeted these days, that I can't print up at school anymore, and I KNOW I would run out of ink on my home printer...so I'm having to resort to going to and office store.

    Those are so cute! I'm downloading them! Thanks so much! I love my laminator from Wal-mart. It is a Scotch and I think it was $25 or something. It works great and I couldn't live without it either! Visit my blog for a fun holiday exchange! You would be so good and anyone would be lucky to have you as their exchange partner! You're so creative!

    Love the spiders! I will trace the templates onto old file folders, so the kiddos can trace the pieces themselves. This will be a great followup to Miss Spider's Tea Party---and I'll have them write later using the sentence prompt, "My spider likes _________."

    I loved the spiders! I made them with my class last week, but we did not use a background paper. We hung them from the classroom ceiling and I added more skills to the project. The children had to make an AB pattern on all the spiders legs and they had to write one spider Fact on the spiders back. They turned out sooo cute!! Thank you so much for sharing! This is one activity I will do again!

    I can't STAND the cuteness of these spiders!!! I have done them with both of my K classes this week , and passed on the information to several of my colleagues! "Spread the cuteness!" should be your new motto! Thanks for the inspiration!!

    These are super cute - thinking of using them for the craft project at the Halloween party. What size paper are these mounted on? Initially I thought it was 8 1/2 x 11, but in looking at the template, that seems too small.

    The spiders are so cute. My firsties will love making them. And I love your idea about putting them on a big web! Now, to think of a title to go with it...
