Spider Pops

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!

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?

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!!!
