As you know, I only approve of kids' crafts that could be lumped together under the title "crafts for dummies," and I think this one might take the cake in terms of sheer simplicity. It's great for Halloween, totally easy, and requires nothing more than a hand or two. Even the babies can do this one. All you'll need to get started is construction paper, black paint (or any color, really), and something that vaguely resembles "eyes" (we used sequins).
Help your kids paint their four fingers and palm, but NOT their thumbs (they will love this step, trust me); Press the painted hand onto paper, fingers pointed out; Paint the other hand and do the same thing, facing the opposite direction, overlapping palms to create the spider's body. Ta-da! A cute little spider that can be tarted up with glitter, sparkles, noodles, or whatever you have laying around. These look really cute taped up on the wall or window, and can also be carefully cut out, and dangled from a yarn "web."
