Sparkling Spiders

October 23, 2013 by Crystal McClean

The weather has been cooling, and the rain is starting.  With the change in weather the creepy-crawly spiders are starting to find their way into the house, it gives me the shivers!  It’s tough to be a Mom and have to pretend not to be afraid of them!  So in honour of all the Moms (and Dads) out there who put on a brave face, I thought I’d feature these easier-to-handle, cute and educational mostly sparkly spiders.

Sparkling Spider Fun with Mom's Library Linky Party at Crystal's Tiny Treasures

There was an outstanding 183 ideas linked up last week with Mom’s Library!  It’s so great to see it growing!  To see all of the great ideas submitted, be sure to check out last week’s Mom’s Library where I focused on Autumn Nature Fun.

      Thank you so much, it’s appreciated! You’re so organised, I’ll take a hop over later in the week and see who else I can ‘meet’ 🙂

    I have linky envy! I love, love all the links. I need to look into how to do this on my own blog.

      I have really enjoyed being a co-host with True Aim Education and the other lovely ladies, it’s been a fun experience 🙂

    Love to see those spiders. We think of doing arachnids with kids. Thanks for sharing. I participate in the link up too.

      We just finished a speedy lapbook about spider webs…could spiders be next?
      Have fun! I will look for you in the link-up later tonight 😉 Thanks for sharing!

      My pleasure..we have spiders on the news this week, so it was nice to take my mind off the biting kind with these crafty ones 😉

    I envy the link-up too! That’s awesome! I would like to do one with somebody–but have to find the right fit!

    • Crystal McClean says

      October 24, 2013 at 6:38 pm

      I agree with you, the right fit is important. The right thing will come along when you least expect it 🙂

    Eeeeek Spiders! I’m not a fan of REAL spiders, but I’m a fan of this kind! 🙂 So fun! Thanks so much!

    • Crystal McClean says

      October 24, 2013 at 11:13 am

      I’m definitely NOT a fan of real spiders! My son thinks it’s funny to point out all of the shop decorations to me to see my exagerated reactions!

    I have not done any crafty fall stuff with my kids yet…still trying to decide what to do!

    • Crystal McClean says

      October 24, 2013 at 11:12 am

      I’m right with you this year! We’re just putting up our decorations from last year this morning! I’m feeling craftier already with the inspiration around me now 🙂

    Google play. It will not work on the tablet I share with the kids (Kindle) but hubby could use it.

    Thank you for such an amazing resource! I love seeing all the ideas!

    • Crystal McClean says

      October 24, 2013 at 6:28 pm

      There are always lots of new ideas! And also older ideas made fresh with a new angle, it’s great!

    Thank you for hosting us all Crystal and for all these “Spidery” features (including our play dough spider)! 🙂 We do have a few natural Halloween decorations here too! 🙂

    • Crystal McClean says

      October 24, 2013 at 6:27 pm

      ‘Natural decorations’, I love it! 🙂 Thank you for linking up, I am looking forward to seeing what you have in the future!

    I love those spiders! So cute – and that word family spider is genius!

      October 25, 2013 at 12:08 pm

      I totally agree with you, Jody!
