We love making puppets here on Kids Craft Room. It’s so nice to make something with the kids that they can enjoy playing with when they’ve finished too. This WALKING SPIDER PUPPET CRAFT is really easy to make with the PRINTABLE TEMPLATE and is so much fun! It’s sure to inspire lots of imaginative play.
Two Walking Spider Puppet Crafts. Both made out of cardstock. One is blue and one is pink. They have popsicle stick handles at the back.

The spider puppet printable comes in a massive 9 different colour designs and there’s also a plain template, that children can enjoy colouring in and decorating themselves. 

I love that all the coloured body parts can be mixed and matched to create a huge range of different looking spiders to play with.

The spider puppets are nice and chunky for little hands and are really easy to make walk along. All you need to do is hold the popsicle stick handle and gently twist your wrist from side to side.

Do watch the video to see them in action. They’re the cutest spiders I know!
