The craft for this activity is a
printable spider mini-windsock. The main skills to practice with the craft are:
* Following a set of instructions or steps
* Scissor cutting skills.
* Recognizing different lines: solid, dashed and dotted lines.
* Numbers 1 to 8 > spiders have eight legs. Children can
count and trace the numbers on the template.
Instructions:
Discuss what is a dashed, dotted and solid line and identify these
in the template.
Tell the children they are going to follow steps to make a fun spider windsock.
Step #1: Cutting the handle for the windsock
>
Cut a strip of paper along the long side of the template. This paper strip
will be used to make a handle. Set aside to attach later.
Adult should help with this step. A 12-inch piece of ribbon can
also be used to make handle.
Children can follow these steps with minimum assistance:
Step #2: Cut close to the dashed line, all around the
template. Discuss that spiders have eight legs. Count and
point to each number for each leg. Older children can trace or
fill the numbers.
Step #3: Cut over the dotted lines. Stop where
the dotted line ends. After this step, children can add glitter
glue to the template, wait to dry and continue to step #4.
Step #4: Apply glue to area marked with a upper case
letter S and affix to the underside of lower case letter s.
The word spider, starts with letter S. Assist
with this step.
Step #5: Help children attach the handle to the
undersides of the windsock.
Good JOB, the spider windsock is ready!
