Painted Spider Web
How to Make a Spider Web Picture

By Sherri Osborn, About.com

Make a spider web picture using black paper, a pie pan, paint, and a marble.

  • Age Guideline: 2 Years and Up
  • Time Required: 30 minutes (Does not include drying time)

The above age and time guidelines are estimates. This project can be modified to suit other ages and may take more or less time depending on your circumstances.

Materials Needed:

Instructions:
Make spider webs by trimming a black piece of paper to fit snuggly in a cake pan. Squirt a few drops of white paint in the middle of the paper. Put a marble in the pan and wiggle the pan back and forth so the marble runs through the paint and makes white lines all over the paper. Continue until you get the desired web design.

Let the paint dry and then hang up your spider web painting for everyone to enjoy. If you like, add a few small plastic spiders to your spider web!
