Halloween Kids Craft: Hanging Spooky Spiders

Decorate your windows and doors with hanging spooky spiders. Children will have lots of making this simple Halloween kids craft. My kids love decorating our home with their own crafts. I try to always include some of their crafts and artwork in my home decor. I save some of their crafts year after year and I know they enjoy when I pull out some of their previous year’s artwork. Seeing their old work brings back memories and allows them to see their creative growth from the previous year.

Materials Needed for this Craft:

• Black Sparkle Foam
• Buttons
• Adhesive
• Darice Large Pipe Cleaners
• White Pom Pom
• Hole Punch
• Scissors
