Hand print spider

What you need:
Black paint
Scissors
Glue
Black, blue and red construction paper
Pencil
Google or sticker eyes

This one is fun for the kiddos! Who doesn't love to paint their hands?? Take your base paper (I am using light blue) and draw a line from top to bottom, side to side, and corners to diagonal corners.
Next, make an arch from line to line making your spider web design.

Now comes the fun part! Paint one hand with the black paint. Be sure not to paint your thumb! Push hand on paper to make one side of your spider. 

Repeat for other side. Make sure you don't paint your thumb! Place palm over palm and press hand to paper.
Make a circle the size of your palm print and glue it to the center of the hand prints (this is the abdomen).
Make a smaller circle for the head and glue it on. Add eyes ( I used stickers, but google work too). 
I made an hour glass shape to glue on the back to make the spider a black widow, but my little helper decided she liked it better as a hair bow =) Some of the boys decided it was best for a bow tie. This is where your kid's creativity really shines! Add a mouth too if you like! Enjoy!
