Giant Web Weaving

Giant Web Weaving

Posted 2014-05-14 by Jane Streetfollow
Here's a quick and fun introduction to weaving for preschoolers using an unusual loom. Create your own giant spider web on the legs of a chair and make your own scary spider for the web.



Time: 15 minutes
Age: Under 5's
Level: Easy

Materials
  • Kids chair
  • Thick wool or string

  • To make the spider:
  • Black sock
  • Googly eyes
  • Glue
  • Paper
  • Black pipe cleaners or raffia
  • Needle and thread

  • Method
  • Turn the chair upside down and rest on the floor so that the four legs are pointing upwards.

  • Ready to weave


  • Tie one end of the wool or string on to one leg.
  • Let the children create a web by winding the wool or string backwards and forwards across the four chair legs.





  • To create a spider body, we stuffed a black sock with crumpled paper, making a ball shape.



  • Glue on google eyes.
  • Attach eight spider legs by sewing or gluing them on to the body. We made ours from strips of black raffia. You could also try black pipe cleaners.



  • Once the spider is finished, nestle it into the web. You can turn the chair over and use it normally with the web at the base until you're ready to take it down.

    Perfect for Halloween
