This is an easy and inexpensive Halloween craft for little kids and a great preschool group project.  The black spider is made from pipe cleaners and a pom pom.  This spider can be used as a fun table decoration or hung in a doorway to make things a little "spooky."

Need:

  • 4 Black pipe cleaners for legs
  • Black tape or piece of pipe cleaner
  • Large black pompom for body
  • Tacky glue
  • 2 wiggly eyes


What To Do:

  1. Holding four pipe cleaners, fold in half and then secure center with either black tape or another section of pipe cleaner.
  2. An inch from center, bend each leg down and then position legs as need to make spider-like, bending as desired.
  3. Glue pompom onto center and when dry, attach wiggly eyes.

These can also be made in various sizes by just altering the lengths of the pipe cleaners...so you have a little army of spiders for your Halloween table.
