Materials
1 toilet paper roll
googly eyes
scissors
black paint
white paper
Activity (Procedure):
Start by cutting 4 slits on each side of a toilet paper roll…there will be extra in-between them so cut them off. Try to make them level so the stamp will be more even on the paper. Fold the legs so the spider looks like it’s doing a split.
Dip the ends into black paint and stamp it on a piece of white paper. Glue on some googly eyes to make it look like a spider.
With the leftover toilet roll you can also make more spiders! Just paint it black and stick on some googly eyes.
