This is a great project for 5th graders and above. All of my 5th and 6th graders did this project! First, you want to start by drawing half of a spider or an insect on one side of a 9" square. Cut out the insect perfectly, leaving the negative space in the paper. Next, trace the shape you cut-out on all 3 other sides of the square. Cut out all of the insects/spiders. Draw a shape into the body and cut that out, as well. Next, glue the 9" square like a diamond on the 12x12" background paper. Flip the shape of the insect onto the background paper, leaving a symmetrical 2-colored bug. Make sure to enforce using very minimal amounts of glue. Too much glue will wrinkle the paper and make it look sloppy and messy. Good Luck!
