Eensy-Weensy Tracks

Why

Let your fingertips walk like a spider! There’s no mess when you sing along while you paint spider prints with Color Wonder™ Fingerpaints.

Steps

1. Sing "The Eensy Weensy Spider." Pretend your fingers are the spider’s legs going up the waterspout. Isn’t it fun when they get all tangled up?

2. Dip your fingers into Color Wonder Fingerpaints. Walk them across the special Color Wonder Paper as you sing. Fill the paper with spider footprints.

3. For even more fun, show how the spider gets washed away by the rain. Slide your hand down the paper!

4. Air-dry your spider tracks before you hang up your picture.

Safety Guidelines

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
