Download and print the template on white A4 cardstock.

Step 2
Cut out the big rectangle and let the kids color the smaller rectangles. We used crayons and markers to color ours. Once the kids have finished coloring, cut out the smaller rectangles. You will get 8 paper strips that will form the spider’s legs.

Step 3
Use the white big rectangle to trace and cut out another rectangle from colored paper. (Or you can just color in the white rectangle). Make a small V-shaped fold on one side of it followed by a big V-shaped fold. The small V fold will be the spider’s face and the big V fold will be its body.
Now, let’s fold the spider’s legs. Make a small fold followed by a big V-shaped fold on all the spider’s legs.

Step 4
Stick the spider’s legs under its body one by one.



Step 5
Finally, draw a face for the spider and the easy paper spider craft is ready!
Now, stick a yarn behind it and hang it on the wall!
