We found some rocks in our backyard to take with us on our crafting playdate. Turned out that I only had acrylic black paint so thank goodness Meghan had other paint that was kid friendly.
Callie prefers to craft than take photographs.
They had so much fun we ended up outside looking for more rocks and using golf balls too for the spiders. Callie has a tendency to say "Spiders!!!" from an episode of Doc McStuffins so she did that the whole time she made these. Henry started doing it too at the end!
We hot glued on the pipe cleaners on the bottom of the rock using a hot glue gun. I know now why the first post on Pinterest had straight legs - it's harder to bend these than I thought. I wish I could blame that disaster on Callie but I can't - that was all me.
Callie made a golf ball spider for her Nana and Papa. If you make these, be aware that the glue will make the ball stand up off the legs. Rocks work better since they are flat on the bottom.
Supplies:
Black Paint, Paint Brushes, Pipe cleaners, Googlie Eyes (retired), Glue Gun
This is a great project to do with your kids. You could make a web of cheesecloth to go underneath them and you can get pipe cleaners at any craft store. To help them dry, you can hit them with a hair dryer. We were going to use the oven at 250 but we were afraid that would cause an unexpected science experiment with the golf balls.
