A bit of creativity for Halloween.

Just love this spiderweb that Jack made.




He says it's really easy!


You need wool, a bowl of PVA glue and a sheet of plastic.

Cut the wool to the right length so that it will fit from corner to corner on the plastic.

Dip the wool in the PVA glue and construct the radial lines (forming a star shape) on the sheet of plastic.

Then use longer pieces of wool (also dipped in PVA) to make the circular pattern.

When the PVA dries you can lift the stiffened cobweb off the plastic.





I wonder how big you could make it?

This is a great site for ideas to motivate your students. I have just found this lovely origami cat & broomstick. Sorry, it's a bit late for Halloween!

Not only can your students make their own cats but it may also provide the inspiration to explore the camera/video and something like movie maker to create their own 'how to' movies.
