A fun, foldable cut-and-paste activity for exploring the life cycle of a spider. This hands-on resource is a combination of a craft and a science worksheet that you could use for a bugs, arachnids, autumn or Halloween activity. Some teachers have even linked it to the book Charlotte’s Web.
The template options
There are 4 options so you can select and print the one that best suits your needs and differentiate for your class if required:
- Template 1: Pupils colour the template and life cycle pictures, match the word or description labels to the images, glue, cut, and fold.
- Template 2: As above but with an easy-cut outline around the web.
- Template 3: Pupils colour the template and life cycle pictures, cut out the 4 life cycle stages, and arrange them in order, glue, cut, and fold. As with templates 1 and 2, there is an option to use the stage name or short descriptions.
- Template 4: Same as template 3 but with an easy-cut outline around the web.
Instructions for students are provided as well as a folding guide with pictures.
