Making spiders from natural materials can be a fun and creative activity that allows you to connect with nature and exercise your creativity. There are many different materials that can be used to make spiders, such as twigs, leaves, pinecones, and acorns.
One of the fun aspects of making spiders from natural materials is the challenge of finding and selecting the materials. For example, the children might need to hunt for just the right twig or leaf to use as the spider’s body or legs. They found this to be a fun scavenger hunt that encouraged them all to explore the outdoors and appreciate the natural world.
Once they have collected all their materials, the process of assembling the spider was enjoyable and fun for the children at Forest School today. We used string to attach the various pieces together, and the children experimented with different techniques and styles to create a unique spider that reflects their own personality and aesthetic.
The children loved seeing their creations on display as a reminder of the fun and creativity they experienced while making it, as well as a celebration of the natural beauty and diversity of the world around us.
Enjoy the snapshots!
