-Tissue/paper towel
What to Do:
Check out the video here to see how to complete this simple craft.
Have kids make a spider web on their paper with Wikki Stix, being careful to push them down really hard. Show the child how to stick two Wikki Stix to their paper to make an X in the middle of the page. Then, add two more Wikki Stix, intersecting with the first two.
Take two more Wikki Stix and stick them together to create a circle. Place the circle on top of your intersecting WIkki Stix to create your web.
Use watercolor paint to paint within the spaces between the Wikki Stix. Get some watercolor paint on your brush and then blot the brush on a paper towel or tissue to remove some of the water. Paint all over the spaces between the spider web, repeating the process of blotting water off of the brush each time. It’s important to make sure that there isn’t too much water on the page as you paint!
Place a tissue or paper towel over the paper to dry up any excess water. Then, have the child peel off the Wikki Stix, revealing their resist painted spider web!
Cut out a spider shape and glue on some craft eyes. Glue your spider to the web!
