I had a wonderful idea for making spiders with the boys to decorate the doorway for Halloween since they seem especially excited about the holiday this year. I spent just $3 on pipecleaners, pom poms, and googly eyes yesterday, and was ready to jump in to crafting these little critters today!
Yeah.... um.... 3 & 4 year olds do NOT have the patience to wait for glue to dry....especially when the glue doesn't seem to be working too well and spider legs are falling off. OOPS!
Well I had good intentions.... unfortunately I ended up with googly eyes glued to my fingers, spider legs that were falling off, and two impatient and disappointed kiddos!
Thankfully I had an idea! I took the remaining pipe cleaners and used one long one to wrap around 4 short pieces - and they turned out to be cuter than my original idea. Glue two little eys on, they are even cuter! Unfortunately, little hands aren't googly eye-friendly and they keep coming off. I might fix that with some superglue over night ;)
Success!

I can't believe how big they've gotten! We miss you guys so much.
Those turned out really cute, I think I might have to copy you. Cora has not discovered the fun world of googly eyes yet.
