My grandson is currently obsessed with spiders. The Itsy Bitsy Spider, in particular - we've watched that episode of Sesame Street more times than I can count. We've already made the spider on a web craft, where he can make the spider go up and down on a string. And we made a pipe cleaner spider. Today we put a spider on a stick, which he can then make "walk" by moving the stick.
Once the svg is uploaded into design space, select all and resize the group to 10.5 wide.
Cut the second head circle in whatever color you want to show through the eyes and mouth. Red, Green, and White all work well.
We then added googly eyes on top of the cut out eyes. Because... the 2 year old assistant believes EVERY project needs googly eyes. :-)
Assembly is simple - just glue the legs across criss cross. I let the 2 year old do that with very little assistance. Then I used hot glue to add a wooden skewer. Regular glue would work - but I like hot glue. Add a circle over the top to cover all of that.
Then just bend the legs - two bends, one closer to the body, and one to make "feet".
The legs bounce up a bit when you move the stick to "walk" the spider. This was surprisingly entertaining. :-)
