* Before class, draw or copy a large spider web. Make sure that you go over the web with a black marker so the lines can be seen through wax paper. * Make several copies of this web to use with the children in your class. This is a project that you may only want to have children work on two at a time so you can help supervise. What to Do 1. Tape a copy of the spider web to the table. 2. Tear off a larger piece of wax paper to place over the copy of the spider web. Tape the wax paper to the table. 3. Ask the children to use glue to track the spider web that you copied earlier on to the wax paper. When they have completed tracing the web with glue, sprinkle glitter over top of the glue. Let dry completely. 4. Peel off the wax paper to reveal a beautiful glittering spider web that you can hang anywhere in the classroom or at home. 5. Ask the children to be very careful with these webs, because they are very fragile just like real spider webs. Assessment Consider the following: * Do the children indicate an understanding that spiders live in webs? * Are the children able to create and decorate their spider webs?
