About this deal
I modeled how to fold and flip, fold and flip. Folding this way helps keep the kids from just rolling the paper. This whole folding process is excellent fine motor practice, but I did stay close by to help them as needed along the way. They really did a great job with the folding!

Next we laid down our headband piece and decided to leave a blank space in the middle so we could see. The kids added four dots of glue on one side and four dots of glue on the other side before attaching all eight legs.

At last we got to staple our headbands together and put them on. I always like to put them on with the legs extending out of the top instead of the bottom. They are just more fun that way! The kids loved creeping around the house like spiders and acting out The Itsy Bitsy Spider song.
