Halloween Fun: Craft a Cute Lollipop Spider

Materials

• 1 round lollipop (Tootsie Pop, Dum Dum, Blow Pop, etc.)

• 2 black pipe cleaners (for legs)

• 2 small googly eyes

• White glue or hot glue (adult use)

• Scissors

Directions

1. Prepare the lollipop: Keep the lollipop in its wrapper. This will be the spider’s body.

2. Make the legs: Cut each pipe cleaner in half. You should now have 4 equal pieces. Twist them around the lollipop stick, just under the candy, so there are 8 legs (4 on each side).

3. Shape the legs: Bend each pipe cleaner piece in the middle to form jointed spider legs. Adjust until they look even.

4. Add the eyes: Glue two googly eyes onto the lollipop candy (or onto a small black paper oval you glue first, if you want a bigger head). Let dry.

5. Finish: Spread out the legs, and your lollipop spider is ready to decorate or give away.
