  • Take a piece of colored paper and trace the outline of the toilet paper roll along both sides, like in the image below. Cut out the strip of paper.
  • Glue the paper around the toilet paper roll securely with the glue stick. Make sure it's dry before you move on to the next step.

  • Parents: Take the hole punch and make 4 holes through both sides that are roughly opposite of each other. Make sure there’s a gap large enough in the front for the spider's eyes.
  • Use adhesive googly eyes or glue on regular googly eyes at the front of your spider.

  • Now take a pipe cleaner and lace through one hole along with the opposite hole.
  • Draw a spider-y mouth with a black pen or fine point marker.
  • Take the end of the pipe cleaner and loop it up over the cardboard tube and back through the hole. Do this for both sides to secure.
  • Now bend the legs like in the picture. Trim any excess if needed.
