It\u2019s the perfect antidote to the long week of dashing to school and various activities followed by \u201cSports Saturday\u201d. After Sunday breakfast the boys often start colouring or making something themselves and then when I\u2019ve fully woken up (usually after my second cuppa!) we set to work on a planned activity.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0This weekend I had planned an activity to help reinforce what my second son has been learning at school.\u00a0\u00a0 He started out in Junior Infants two weeks ago and so far so good. My plan is to do an activity each week to reinforce the letter he has been learning at school. We will then display these in his bedroom to encourage his learning of each letter. Last week they had been studying the letter \u2018S\u2019, so I decided we would make some \u201cSpooky Spiders\u201d seeing as Halloween is not too far away now. My boys are already excitedly discussing which costumes they would like me to make for them!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Now I must admit I did purposely omit my 2 year old daughter from this activity due to the involvement of black paint. I do usually embrace my toddler\u2019s love of painting herself during our activities, but I couldn\u2019t face dealing with a black paint stained toddler before we had even got out of our PJ\u2019S!\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"https:\/\/craftykidsathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/spiders2-772x1024.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/craftykidsathome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/spiders2-772x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"301\" height=\"400\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: center;\">1 x sheet of black paper<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: center;\">1 x sheet of white paper<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: center;\">1 x pencil<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: center;\">1 x cereal bowl<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: center;\">1 x small lid<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: center;\">1 x pair of scissors<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: center;\">2 x black pipecleaners<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: center;\">2 x googly eyes<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Glue Sitck<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: center;\">Black Paint<\/div>\n<div class=\"MsoNormal\"><\/div>\n<p><strong>How to make the Spiders Web:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Take the sheet of white paper and draw around the cereal bowl once and the small lid twice and cut them out using scissors.
