Fall Fun: Spaghetti Cobwebs
This activity can get a little "icky" ... but hey, that's half the fun! It also goes well with a theme study of spiders and is something just a little different to do for arts and crafts.
Project Materials:
Cooked spaghetti (cold)
White glue
Waxed paper
Project Directions:
Have the child(ren) dip the spaghetti, one strand at a time, into the glue and arrange the pieces onto the waxed paper into the shape of a cobweb. When the spaghetti dries, carefully peel the "cobweb" off the waxed paper. Hang from the ceiling.
Note: you may want to "fix" this craft by spraying it with a clear finish or top coat of varnish. Humidity may affect these little works of art and the glue isn't necessarily going to deter the more insistent pest from trying to take a nibble. You may want to take these issues into consideration when you are trying to decide where to hange your "webs".
