This was listed at www.chirotoons.com . I can't wait to try it with the girls.
A few years ago at a homeschool show we attended, a lady shared a neat nature project with us: Collecting Spider Web Art. It was so neat (and we've had requests to repeat it), that we'll share it here with you.
Here's how you do it:
1) Locate a spider's web, hopefully somewhere outside. Have the kids gently shoo away the spider ("Go on! Git!").
2) Tape a white piece of paper on some cardboard to make it stiff.
3) Take a can of spray paint and spray through the spider web. Don't spray so hard it tears up the web. You want to coat the web but leave it pretty much intact.
4) While the web is still wet with the paint, hold the cardboard/paper BEHIND the spider web and pull it TOWARD you slowly, so it comes right flat through the web. Set aside to dry thoroughly. The painted spider's web will stick to the paper, and when it dries, you'll have a painted "print" of the web itself.
This lady said her kids (and grandkids) had quite a collection of these mounted in a notebook, and the variety of webs you can find is truly amazing. Every web is different, a true work of art, and a testimony once again that there is a Master Designer and Creator of all things... |
