Step into the fascinating world of spiders with Spiders & Webs, a hands-on fall mini unit that invites children to observe, wonder, create, and play!

Discover ten types of spiders, explore how they use silk, and follow the spider life cycle. Then head outdoors for a Spider Web Hunt, race handmade spiders, create watercolor webs, and build a web of your own in Spider Silk Studio.

Learning stretches across subjects with spider-inspired music, creative and informational writing, and a look at spiders around the world. The printable Eight Legs card game brings counting, addition, and turn-taking into the fun as players collect exactly eight legs to complete their spiders.

With engaging activities, thoughtful reflection questions, and game printables, this mini unit offers families and educators an inviting way to connect science, art, math, and storytelling through the small wonders all around us.
