This craft will really stick with you. Who knew dry spaghetti could make such perfect porcupine quills? Push dry spaghetti strands into clay to create these prickly but adorable little creatures, giving those little hand muscles a great workout, too!

Fall Foliage
Kids get to play Mother Nature for the day! Sticks glued to a backing board become the trunks and branches, and then it’s time to decorate. Tissue squares, dot markers, or jewel-toned fabric can transform their little trees into colorful creations that are completely their own.

A spider’s body is made up of two main parts: the cephalothorax (say that three times fast!) and the abdomen. Then come the eight legs! Keep your spider flat, or bend and glue those legs…
