Summary:
Time: 10 minutes
Age: Toddlers to Big kids
Difficulty: Easy peasy
You will need:
- Black card
- Salt
- PVA glue

- Paint brushes
- Glitter (optional)
Step 1: Use glue to draw your webs
Squeeze PVA glue to draw some spider’s webs on your black card.
Step 2: Pour on the salt
Shake salt all over the picture until every bit of glue is covered.
Step 3: Shake it, shake it
Now shake off all the salt over the bin, leaving behind salty webs.
Step 4: Drop on the paint
Water down a little pot of white, orange and gold paint. You want your paints to be very watery so that they will drip from the end of your brush.
Starting with the white paint, drop blobs over the salt until all the salt has been covered.
Step 5: Add some colour
Now add blobs of orange, and then gold paint to your webs to make them look more Halloweeny.
Step 6: Sparkle and shine
Finally shake glitter all over the spider’s web to make it shimmer and glisten.
Your shimmering spider’s web painting can even be hung up as Halloween decorations!
