Halloween
Description
This craft can be used as both an activity to keep the children
entertained and a creative table decoration at a Halloween party.
Instructions
Inflate helium balloons and attach a ribbon. Use the ribbon to
secure the balloon to a table, chair or wrist while working. Flip the
balloon upside down and twist eight 12" craft pipe cleaners around the
neck of the balloon. Bend the pipe cleaners so there are four legs on
either side of the balloon. Bend the ends of the pipe cleaners so the
critter stands when placed on a flat surface. Draw a silly or scary face
on the balloon with markers or glitter pens, and cut off the ribbon,
being careful not to puncture the balloon. Your balloon spider is now
complete! (The spider will not float, but will stand on a flat surface
and bounce when bopped on the head. If you want it to float, use crepe
paper streamers and tape instead of pipe cleaners for the legs).
