Math activity- How many legs does a spider have? 8. Write that number. It’s my favourite number! Gather some materials to make a spider. Remember to count 8 legs (maybe markers) something to make a body. (maybe a bar of soap).
Check out my spider. Can you believe that a spider can have up to 8 eyes, but they still don’t have the best sight?
You can also make a spider out of materials that you can find outside.
We know that you like Pete the Cat books, here is one about a spider.
