Spiders Crafts Pet
Spiders
Give each Rainbow a sheet of A5 card. They
need to cut a strip across the width of the card. This strip should
then be folded in a circle and stapled. The Rainbows should then cut
the rest of the card into 8 long strips. These strips should be
concertinaed and stuck (using glue or sticky tape) to the body. A hole
should be made in the top of the spider and a piece of wool pushed
through (best to have an adult do this). A knot should then be tied in
the wool to stop it coming off. The other end of the wool can then be
tied losely round the Rainbow's wrist. The Rainbow can then add eyes
and other facial features if desired.
Glistening Webs
Give each Rainbow a piece of sugar paper.
Using a pen they should draw on a spider's web. They then glue over the
web and sprinkle on glitter.
Games Spiders
This is an adapted version of a beetle drive. In advance of the meeting make up several sets of webs, spider bodies, spider heads, spider legs, spider eyes and spider teeth/jaw. Rainbows take it in turn to roll a dice. When they roll a 1 they can take a web. When they roll a 2 they can take a body. When they roll a 3 they can take a head. When they roll a 4 they can take an eye. When they roll a 5 they can take a jaw and when they roll a 6 they can take a leg (or a pair of legs if you want the game to go quicker). The winner is the first Rainbow to build a complete spider. Food Edible Spiders Take a large biscuit and (using black icing)
turn it into a spiders web. Next take a marshmellow and add 8 small
pieces of strawberry laces and two icing eyes. Place your 'spider' on
its web.
Other Activities Get the Rainbows in a circle. Throw a ball
of string to one of the Rainbows. They should catch the ball (ideally!)
and keep hold of the end of the string. They then throw the ball to
someone else who does the same until everyone is all tangled up in the
string!
