I think I was more excited than my daughter when her teacher assigned a “Haunted House” project to display during the month of October.  I went to the dollar store and picked up a pack of plastic insects that was the inspiration for the “Creepy Crawler Cave.” With all the supplies the project was under $5.

Supplies

  • Small box
  • Bag of insects
  • Bag of spider web
  • Larger spider that lights up
  • Black acrylic paint
  • Paintbrush
  • Stapler
  • Glue gun

Instructions:

  • Use a stapler to secure spider web inside the box.
  • With a hot glue gun place the insects inside and outside the box.
  • Place the spider that lights up in the box to complete the project.
