Yoga Spiders (Kid Yoga & Craft)

The Tiny Yoga Spider was on his yoga mat 

start on your hands and knees, ready to go like a tiny spider

First he stretched like a cow

cow pose, stretch your bellow down low and make some mooing noises

Then he stretched like a cat

kitty cat pose, arch your back up high, meowing

Then he moved an arm, an arm, an arm, an arm

each time we say arm, stretch one arm to the sky

And then he moved a leg, a leg, a leg, a leg

each time we say leg, stretch one leg up

Then the tiny yoga spider 

start to curl up very tiny

Was ready for his web/bed

rest in child's pose

Supplies:

• 2 (or more) stick-on googly eyes
• 1 small pompon
• 4 pipe cleaners
• 4" x 2" piece woven fabric (burlap or similar)

Directions

1. Center pompom on one pipe cleaner. Overlap ends like a giant twist tie, securing the pom. Three to four twists should do it.
2. One at a time, center another pipe cleaner around the center of the first and twist three to four time to secure.
3. Place the googly eyes on the pompon top.
4. Bend the eight "legs" about 1/2 way to make knees.
5. Bent each leg near the end to make a "foot."
6. Insert a few of the feet through the burlap to help the spider "stick" to the web/mat.
