If you have younger kids that are able to safely use scissors, making these paper spider webs would be a great way to help them work on their scissor skills. It also encourages the use of their fine motor skills.

If they are not ready to use scissors yet, kids can still get involved with the folding of the paper and the most exciting part, the unfolding!

Feel free to use the template as many times as you would like. If you feel confident in the folding and cutting, you can branch out and create your own spider web using different colors. You can also create various forms of spider webs in different sizes as well.

Favorite Printable Supplies:

These are a few of my favorite supplies that I use for printable games and activities:

White Cardstock: For most projects, I recommend printing onto cardstock. It is much more durable than standard printer paper and often produces a higher quality print.
Crayons: A staple in any crafting household. Crayola is always the top notch choice!
Kid Friendly Safety Scissors: These are perfect for little kids learning how to use scissors. They cut paper but not fingers or hair!
Glue Sticks: These disappearing purple glue sticks are by far my favorite! I love buying them in bulk since we use them so often!
Lamination Machine: Laminating printables are a great way to make them last longer. If you are planning on laminating to make games reusable, be sure to get a bunch of dry erase markers as well.
Dry Erase Pockets: Dry erase pockets are a great alternative to using a lamination machine when wanting to make printable games and activities reusable.
Printer: A high quality printer is always recommended for the best results. If you are in need of a printer this Brother Wireless Printer is a great choice.

This template was designed to be printed onto a standard piece of 8.5×11 inch white paper. On each page you will see the square template along with the folding and cutting instructions.

Terms of Use: Please feel free to download and print as many copies of the template as you would like. However, please do not edit or redistribute the files in any way. This activity was created for personal use or classroom use only.
