Spiderweb "Bug" Toss


It's that awful time of year when all the spiders are everywhere! I can't even walk from the house to the shed without waltzing into at least three spiderwebs along the way. There I am, walking along innocently, when I suddenly feel the sticky tickle of a web wrapping around my face. Suddenly I'm windmilling my arms and screaming my pretty little head off all because of some damn spider that unexpectedly became a resident in my hair.

Luckily, this activity makes spiderwebs a little more fun while showing your kid how they work. Plus, it's a great way to keep older siblings entertained while little siblings sleep. ;)

All you need is some tape (I used some leftover painters tape I had lying around), and some wads of paper. In a doorway, set up a tape web and let your kid have a blast throwing crumpled paper "bugs" at the web to see if they can make them stick. My son had a great time doing this. And luckily for me, it kept him preoccupied while his little brother napped, and it gave me a chance to actually drink my morning coffee!
