Our kids walked on the lines with our pretend spider on their heads challenging themselves not to drop it!
Now that you have a kid-sized spider web there are several games you can play! We’ve used duct tape in our driveway and our kids enjoyed pulling it back up when we were finished! Play! Beginning in the middle, connect the lines with arches increasing in size to create the finished web.Īlternatively, if you want a more permanent web you could use painters tape or masking tape indoors (test on carpeting and hard flooring first to make sure the tape won’t leave sticky residue when removed) or outside.
You will end up with what looks like an eight lined snowflake. Next draw another X perpendicular to the first one. This spider activity for preschoolers is super simple in terms of materials!ĭraw a chalk spider web by writing a large X. Use this activity for a Halloween theme or a theme that includes spiders and insects. Opportunities for themed gross motor activities extend the classroom learning outside on the playground. All preschoolers learn best through play. Kinesthetic learners retain information best when they are moving. We created several gross motor activities for our preschoolers to try on a larger than life spider web! Our active play extended the learning about these captivating (pun intended) creatures! Spiders fascinate children! Our kids love learning all about arachnids include how they make and move on their webs.
