Easy Styrofoam Spiders Craft for Kids

Are you looking for a fun activity for kids? These not-too-spooky styrofoam spiders craft are easy to make and will keep the kids busy for hours!

We had our nieces in town recently and wanted to celebrate with a fun craft!

Our daughters love to get out the paint and disappear into my craft room for hours.

I handed them a pack of styrofoam balls and some pipe cleaners and this is what they came up with: the cutest little family of foam spiders!

Supplies to make foam spiders

• 2″ foam balls
• 4 acrylic paint colors (we used ‘Lavender Fields’ purple, ‘Pumpkin Patch’ orange, ‘Ebony’ black + ‘Cottonball’ white)
• 2 pipe cleaner per spider (we used a multi-color pack)

directions to make styrofoam spiders

• Paint foam balls purple, orange then black.
• When dry, paint on white eyes + mouth.
• When dry, paint on black dots for the eye balls.
• Cut pipe cleaners into 4 equal lengths from 1 pipe cleaner.
• Gently insert 4 into each side of the spider, repeat on the other side.
