Make a Jumping Spider Toy
We've had kids hide under tables, behind the couch and other places, lying in wait with a spider poised to jump. What fun! Take four black pipe cleaners and twist them in the center to make 8 legs. Glue them to the bottom of a black pom pom and then shape the pipe cleaners so that they look like spider's legs. Sew a piece of string through the pom pom and then run the string through a drinking straw. Tie the string to a small piece of pipe cleaner on the other side of the straw so that it cannot pull back through the straw. Add two jiggle eyes and hold them in place with glue. Dress the spider up with a bow. To make the spider jump, place it on any surface and then pull the small pipe cleaner on the end of the straw hard and fast so that the string quickly pulls the spider up to the opposite end of the straw. Giggles allowed!
