A little plan for play
Open interactive activity →Add to play journal →What you need
A plain paper plate and large child-appropriate crayons.
Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.
Let's make it happen
- Draw a round spider body near the center of the plate, then add four legs on each side.
- Count all eight legs together. Draw lines radiating around the spider, then connect them with curved lines to make a web.
- Add colors or a background and tell a story about where the spider might go.
Adult stays beside the child and collects torn paper. Observe real spiders from a distance without touching them.
