10 Craft Ideas to do With Spider Coloring Pages
Once your little artists have filled those printable spider coloring pages with color, don't let their masterpieces go to waste! Turn them into these easy, affordable Halloween spider crafts.
1. Webbed Window Clings
Laminate your colored spider pages or cover them completely with clear contact paper. Carefully cut out the spiders, then use a small piece of clear tape or a bit of water to “cling” them onto windows, making them look like they're crawling across the glass from outside.
2. Spider Pencil Toppers
Cut out small, colored spiders from your pages. Glue each spider onto a short segment of a toilet paper roll or a craft foam ring. Attach four pipe cleaner pieces to the “body” for eight dangling legs, then slide onto the top of a pencil for a spooky school supply.
3. Creepy-Crawly Garland
Cut out multiple colored spiders in various sizes. Punch two holes near the top of each spider, then string them onto a long piece of yarn or string. Hang your creepy-crawly garland across doorways, windows, or mantelpieces for instant Halloween decor.
4. Pop-Up Spider Cards
Fold a piece of construction paper in half to create a card. Cut out a colored spider from your page and glue it onto a “spring” mechanism made from two interlocking paper strips. When the card opens, the spider will pop out, ready to surprise!
5. Finger Puppet Spiders
Cut out a small, colored spider. Glue it onto a paper ring sized to fit your child's finger. Add eight tiny pipe cleaner legs to the spider's body, bending them to look like it's scuttling around. These make for fun, interactive storytelling.
6. Caught-in-the-Web Diorama
Use a shoebox turned on its side for the diorama base. Paint the inside black or dark grey. Cut out several colored spiders and glue them onto strands of cotton balls stretched across the box, creating a spooky web where they've caught their prey.
7. Spooky Spider Crown
Cut a long strip of poster board or construction paper to fit around your child's head. Cut out several small colored spiders and glue them all around the crown. Add googly eyes to the spiders and maybe some glitter for extra sparkle and creepiness.
8. Giant Wall Spiders
Carefully cut out a large, fully colored spider from your page. Mount it onto a piece of black construction paper or cardstock for durability, then cut it out again, leaving a small black border. Tape these big spiders directly onto walls to make them look like they're lurking in corners.
9. Hanging Mobile Spiders
Cut out various sized colored spiders. Punch a hole in the top of each spider and tie a length of fishing line or thread through it. Attach these spiders to a coat hanger or two crossed popsicle sticks to create a swirling, spider-filled mobile.
10. Spider Treat Bags
Decorate plain paper lunch bags with a cut-out colored spider glued to the front. You can also add pipe cleaner legs sticking out from the sides of the bag for extra flair. Fill with candy for a personalized, spooky Halloween treat container.
