Spider Facts for Kids
If your child is still curious after all of those spider crafts and treats, I’d suggest you learn the facts about spiders too. They really are misunderstood creatures.
Learn how to catch a spider
This is a great skill to have if your ever find a spider in your house and want to get it out. Your kids will love catching and releasing the spider it once they know how to do it safely.
I hope your child adores these wonderful spider activities as much as we did finding them for you all. I know I’ll be using this as a go-to guide for Halloween every year!

What great activities for the holidays!!
popping over from FYBF 🙂
Hey Pen thee are awesome – how much fun can kids have while learning ! and I love the photos too so helpful – I think we might make a big spiderweb at our playgroup.
Thank so much Di. You are my Aunty Di, right? Although I’m not sure why you are talking about a playgroup since my cousins (your children) are way over that period in their life.
If you’re not my Aunty Di, then you have the exact same name as her and that’s kind of crazy! Thanks so much for dropping by and commenting Di, Aunty Di, Diane. 🙂
Hehehe, I am your Aunty Di, Pen!!!!! – there is only one Aunty Di!, Now for my explanation of why I’m still playgrouping – at the C3 church I go to in South Hobart Tasmania we have Playgroup on Mon and Wed – I coordinate both the groups and turn up to support the Leaders – I love it! The littlies are so gorgeous and so are the Mums and Dads and Granmas and Pas. I miss cuddling your little ones though and seeing them grow up! You are doing an awesome job Pen – great website – I’m going to show the PG leaders it today. See you in Nov at the wedding.
Penny, what a great idea, the kids can really get involved. I loved the photos too.
Thanks so much Andy. I’m a visual person so I love images. Thank you so much for dropping by and commenting. I’m so glad you like them!
What a great way to learn about spiders! I love that kids can use their whole body to get involved.
That’s the best part, especially for Miss Possum. She has her mother’s bad sporting body and so anything that help her skills in that area are great!
Great activities, Penny! They would be very educational. Those masks are amazing!
Miss Possum looks adorable in her Spider Mask 🙂
Thanks Gracie. I love masking masks (can you tell?). I think I better try my hand at some other types of printables though. Any suggestions?
haha, so cool! Those masks look great. Shall have to pin them to remember them for the future! Thanks for sharing 🙂
