Zip Tie Spiders for the Kiddos

Here are the materials I started with..

old rusty bolt (don't worry my kids are up to date on their tetanus shots)
+
zip ties
+
googley eyes

You could use any small ring.  We were just using what we found around.


Put 8 zip ties onto the ring/bolt.


 It should look like this...


Scooch 4 over to one side and 4 on the other.
Bend in a couple places for legs and feet.


Add googley eyes and there you go--
spiders!


Who knew spiders loved to slide?
They do.
They really do.


I'm not sure at what age you grow out of zip tie spiders, but my 7 year old was not the least bit interested.
Instead, he made a "war tool".
Rusty metal and zip ties.
Yep--the enemy better watch out!
