When I was little, one of my favorite fall crafts at my Dutch kindergarten class was, making a Spider Web. It was very easy and it looked so cool. But instead of the traditional chestnuts we used for the center, I found small pumpkins here in the USA, which actually look very cute with this craft. So it won’t be a Chestnut Spider Web, but a Pumpkin Spider Web Craft!
It is almost Halloween. Time to make some crafts. I love to do this craft with M. I think this is the first year she’s really into all the Halloween festivities, like the Pumpkin Patch, the Trick-or-Treating, carving pumpkins and picking out her costume. This year it’ll be a simple black cat and not an elaborate pink -rainbow cat or an owl.
We went to the Pumpkin Patch and M picked out some small pumpkins. She wanted to color them and put them in her room, but I showed her a picture of the Pumpkin Spider Craft, to make this adorable Spider Web Weaving Craft.
Materials
