I also work part time as a nurse, and predominately work with children with learning disabilities.

Yoghurt pot spiders

Another halloween based craft.
We were originally going to make egg box spiders, but we didnt eat the eggs in time, so we used yoghurt pots instead.  I think it made them easier to make...

What you need: 
Empty small yoghurt pot
Black paint
Black pipe cleaners (2 per spider cut into 4 pieces each)
Sticky tape
Googly eyes
Glue sticks

What we did:
After washing out the yoghurt pot, (mini faithful enjoyed 'helping' with this part of the craft almost as much as the rest!) we made sure it was dry before painting the whole of the outside (including the bottom) black.

Next we left it to dry.  Once it was dry, we stuck 4 pieces of pipe cleaner to the inside of the yoghurt pot using sticky tape, before doing this to the opposite side of the pot.  Once we had done that we used a glue stick to add two googly eyes.


Mini faithful had lots of fun playing with 'incy' the spider including helping incy up and down the water spout, before our little incy got played with by the cats... We will be making more of these at a later date, as she enjoyed making them and then playing with them so much...
