Spider webs

[Ruthierhyme]

Ways to make Spider webs ..

• Hexagon shaped piece of cardboard with punched holes in lined & criss cross pattern. Sew/weave wool in and out of the holes.
• Large piece of wood with nails Prenailed into place. Knot a length of wool and allow twisting, turning and free weaving to make a web. The larger the wooden base the better (great for a free play activity) add a large hairy spider once finished (ball of black wool and pipe cleaner legs !)
• Use lego type bricks to build web formations .
• Use 3 sized hexagons (small, medium, large) glue on top of each other. Make a large hole in the centre of them and let the children weave/sew thread from the from inside ( like attaching a sequin in place!)
• Embossed aluminium foil web :- lay a square of foil over a slab of flat clay/dough and use the wrong end of a pen/paintbrush to draw lines of a web into the foil (the clay should absorb the pressure and not pierce the foil ... fingers crossed!!)

Dip wool into a glittery gel based 'after sun' for a 'slippery slimy' web weaving experience!

use sparkly wool/ embroidery thread or cotton.

Have fun & keep on posting ways you've made webs

Try using straws for the 'spokes' glued onto black card/paper and gooey, dipped-in-pva/paint string to lay round and round. Sprinkle with glitter if wanted and add one very hairy spider!!!!!
