How to Do Halloween Spider Web Art

This Halloween spider web art project for kids combines squeezing out spooky designs with glue and then painting over them with watercolors!

Updated August 2022

You know how much children like to squeeze glue bottles?

Well, here’s a glue resist art project for kids that gives them the opportunity to squeeze out glue to their hearts content. And then they get to paint the whole thing once the glue has dried.

This makes for a perfect Halloween spider web art activity, but you could do it with any image or theme, even a completely abstract design.

How to Do Halloween Spider Web Art

MATERIALS

• Watercolor paper or card stock (you can also cut down a piece of poster board into smaller pieces)
• White glue
• Watercolor paint (you could also use liquid watercolors)

That’s all! Easy and fun!

We love to see how the glue lines resist the watercolor paint!
