Preschool For Rookies: Preschool Spider Ideas

ALL ABOUT SPIDERS

Art

Spider hand prints:

The used a Q-tip to make the eyes. I let them choose 6 or 8.

I had them make a web with yarn and glue. Great for fine-motor Skills!

Marble painting

Make a web and have a discussion about webs.

Here are some questions I ask my kids while they are marble painting:

1. What are webs made out of?

2. Why do spiders need webs?

3. Why don't spiders stick to their own webs?

Great for a center:

Fine motor skills: peeling and sticking

Science

Playdough center:

Make a spider and review parts of a spider and other facts.
