Spiders!! Eeek!!




Did you know that spiders have two body parts, and that their legs are really attached to their HEADS?? I didn't. I just assumed the legs were attached to the abdomen, but I was wrong! We made spiders out of balloons and pipe cleaners. We drew eight little eyeballs and fangs in the front and symmetrical markings on the abdomens. We couldn't attach the legs to the heads, though. We put them between the balloons... close enough.

Bringing Garbage Home

Some people up the street were throwing this table away. It was in pretty bad shape and one of the legs was off. I've glued the leg back...
