Spider web tape art is one of the easiest and fun Halloween art ideas you can make with kids of all ages. It’s easy enough for toddlers to make and can be creative enough that school-aged children can enjoy it too.
It’s a Halloween art project that can be done successfully both in the classroom and at home, with one child or a large group of students.

How to make tape resistant to cobweb art
What you need:
- white construction paper or small canvas (you can buy them at dollar stores for cheap)
- tape – any tape will do – use washi tape or masking tape if working on paper. If you’re using regular canvas tape, that’s fine
- paint (watercolor or tempera paint) or use crayons
Step-by-step instructions
For older kids, let them build their own frames for spider-proof art tape. For younger children (toddlers), prepare the tarp/paper in advance and let them enjoy the messy part.
Place a piece of paper or a blank canvas in front of the child. Have your child cut a long strip of tape and tape it across the paper, running from the middle from left to right. Next, ask them to tape the paper from top to bottom. Finally, have them apply two strips of tape running diagonally from one corner to the other.
This is the basis for our spider web art.
Let’s move on to the inner parts of the spider’s web.
Have children cut smaller pieces of tape and create spider web shapes. Depending on their skills (and canvas and tape sizes), they can create two or more octagons.
It’s time to start drawing.
We’re using watercolors for this easy Halloween art, but there’s really no limit to the type of paint your child will use or the type of brush (fingers also make great brushes). . Choose a color (we used purple) and paint a few sections.
Change to another color and paint a few more parts.
Add more color, as much as needed, until all sections are colored.
Once you’ve finished painting the canvas, start slowly peeling off the tape.
All has been done!
We hope your child will enjoy making this bandage with spider web art.
