While outside playing yesterday we found 3 or 4 tiny spiders Neevah was quite intrigued and found them less scary than the normal big hairy spiders we get around here. As a treat for the kids and to continue this new found interest in spiders I created some spider pops.To make spider pops you will need lollipops, black pipe cleaners and small wiggly eyes ...
center the pipe cleaner around the lollipop stick making sure both sides are even and then twist them tight .... repeat 4 times to make 8 legs .... glue on the wiggly eyes .... bend the ends of the pipe cleaners so they look like spider legs .... ta dah done!

Thanks for this great idea! I have just finished making up a huge pile of lollipop spiders for my little one's big school fair :o) They're so proud we are making such a fun contribution to the sweet stall!
Great idea! I'm going to help my daughter make these for her class at Halloween!

Absolutely darling! Thanks for sharing! I linked to my blog here: http://sweetmetelmoments.blogspot.com/2011/10/fun-halloween-favors.html
What a simple yet genius idea! Can't wait to try it. I will also make an orange pumpkin around the lollipop: do you think it would work?
Perfect timing! I am going to make these for my granddaughter's
class...thanks so much
These are so cute I absolutely love them!!! One question though, I noticed the kind of lollipops you used when I was little I used to eat those too and I have been looking for them everywhere!! Can you get back to me on what the name of those are?!
Thanks and it would be much appreciated!!!
Hi Miranda - they are called Chupa Chups :)
I have been looking for chupa chups for a very long time now! I used to eat them when I was younger! Where did u find them?
Hi Megan
I'm not sure what country you live in but in Australia (or at least the part where I live) you can find them in supermarkets and sometimes the cheap shops
I am so excited I found this!! My nephew's birthday is on Halloween and we always have a Halloween party for him, I can't wait to have the spider pops on the food and drink table. Awesome!!!!
Awesome idea! Thanks for sharing; I'm planning a Halloween baby shower, and these would be absolutely perfect! :)
What a great Halloween idea. It's simple enough for me to do.
This is Brilliant! I'm sharing on my page too :)
I Live in Florida and you can find Chupa Chups lollipops at Walmart or Sams Club and Even Dollar general Carries them this time of year.Just Thought I would let you know cause I buy them for my kids and grandbabies.
I can't wait to make these with my grandson Daiton, for his classmates this Halloween:)
LOVE. Extra points for the spiders being anatomically correct! (I'm a tarantula owner and it drives me CRAZY how most of the cutesy Halloween spiders are actually TICKS :-)
just picked up the stuff to make these for my boys' halloween parties at school and daycare. Thanks for the idea.
Making these for my nieces birthday party tomorrow night...I'm sure it'll be a hit...thank you!
What kind of glue did you use?! Regular school glue perhaps?!
Carmela - you are testing my memory as I wrote this post over 2 years ago now. It may have been hot glue but school glue would work you would just need to give them time to dry before moving them
Making these now! So adorable :)
Making these with the kiddos as I type. Too cute however ours don't stand ipso good. Lol, thanks
I made these for a Halloween tailgate and am just getting around to posting about it. Linking to your blog on my post! These were a big hit =)
