Spider Crafts and Activities

I’ll be the first to admit that spiders in real life are not my favorite, but spider crafts? They can be oh so cute!

Spider crafts and activities aren’t just for Halloween either. They are a great way to extend the learning when studying bugs, nursery rhymes like the Itsy Bitsy Spider, the letter S or the color black.
