Making watercolor spider webs after reading children’s books about spiders and spider webs is a fun, non-scary project to do with children as Halloween approaches.
Try reading, “Mrs. Spider’s Beautiful Web” by Beverly Randell and “Spiders” by Gail Gibbons to help the child learn about how amazing spiders can be, how beautiful webs are, and help to reduce their anxiety for spiders. “Anansi the Spider” by Gerald McDermott is another great children’s book to read with children and do corresponding learning projects. Read “I’m Trying to Like Spiders” by Bethany Barton to a child that doesn’t like spiders since it might change their minds.
